I have heard a lot of people have the same problem as me. It seems there is not enough air getting to the raditor at first. Then I realized that the temp gauge goes up to 3/4 at regular intervals then the fan kicks on and drops it to 1/4 in a matter of minutes. The process then repeats. I think...

High Idle- Someone mentioned replacing the CTS, what is that? I was unable to find it in my book. Thanks

in cold weather here in new england i thought i had frozen fuel lines so i used a generic form of gas line antifreeze/injector cleaner (found out the battery went bad and replaced it) but this cheap stuff caused the ses light to come on i think, also there was lotsa salt on the roads here really...

start car self diagnostics seem ok for traction control after a couple of seconds the the on/off switch light goes out -- traction control is off and cannot be turn on -- computer reset works only once and then an engine restart repeats the problem

I want to perform a current load test so that I can test my alternator. It seems to put out enough voltage, but I was cautioned that the alternator may still not be putting out the necessary amps. Can I perform this test with my trusty hand held Craftsman multimeter? It was about 30 bucks,...

How do you check for bad ground? I need to know where to check and what to clean and tighten...basically, I need to know everything. Thanks for any help!

Any help on this topic will be greatly appreciated. When I drive for about 10 minutes, the battery light comes on and stays on steady for about 1 minute, and then it goes away. It won't come back on for the rest of the drive. This only happens when I haven't driven the car for about 8...

I have a 2002 Saturn SL1, and a good 1/3 of the time when I break (whether on a hill or on flat road), the car accelerates up to 2,500 RPMs. It also happens when I am almost completely stopped, which worries me because I don't want to bump anyone on front of me. I am trying to find some answers...

Howdy. I've asked this of several people who own Saturns, and nobody can tell me the advantage/disadvantage of having the Trac traction switched on versus turning it off. I usually turn it off, because the light annoys me, but if I were on slippery roads, I'd use it. But does it have any effect...

Hello, My '96 SL has a 12 disc CD changer mounted in the trunk. Sometimes, but not allways, if I leave the CD's in the unit, it'll keep switching between them, even when the car is off. Nothing else is on, in the car, but this thing keeps shifting through the CD's. Even if the CD holder is...

Hi, all, I have a 96 Saturn SL, and it's begun to burn oil when I really give it the gas. I can see a cloud behind me. My Dad told me that I might be able to alleviate that by using 10w40, instead of the 5w30 the manual calls for. I live in Michigan, so it's going to get cold. Is there any truth...

Hello, My Service Engine Soon light has come on and my reverse isn't working, when the engine is warmed up. It goes into reverse when it's cold, which it starts out, here in Michigan, but it seems to shift hard in drive and once the engine warms up, I pretty much need a pull-through to park...

My 2002 saturn vue has a light that come on and off at will.I scanned it for codes with a friends scanner and it shows no codes or pending codes. I was told the light may come on at a certain mileage and can be be shut off with a simple reset procedure. Can anyone help with this?

Hello, My wife's '92 Saturn was starved for oil last spring when a timing belt guide was not cleaned out of the oil pan properly (after the belt was replaced) and the car was driven basically without oil for almost twenty minutes some months afterward. Suffice it to say that I don't think...

Since August my car been 'dogging' out but not all the time. It happens mainly after decceleration and then when I depress the gas it just cuts out. When I pull up to a stoplight unless I keep both feet on the gas and break to prevent it from dying. This will happen for several days at a time...

Exactly what do the 2 oxygen sensors do besides turn on the SES light?

Anyone have a link or know how to program keyfobs for the 2002 SL2 ? My second keyfob broke and now I'm down to one. Would like to add additional 2 more for a total of 3. I know where to obtain them but cant seem to find programming instructions and I don't want to pay a dealer an outrageous fee...
