For the last 2 months or so it's been taking longer and longer for the engine to turn over. I have to leave it in park for a little while for the engine to idle stedily. If I put it in reverse to soon it will stop. But now it wont start even with a jump. But with a jump the stereo plays and the...

Hi. I have a '96 Saturn SL1 sedan. For the winter here in New Hampshire, I have studded snow tires on the front P195 70 R 14 on the front and regular P175 65 R 14 on the back. I drive on rural roads up to 55 MPH. Is this set up safe for my kind of driving?

On my '96 Saturn with 187,000 miles, which uses a slight amount of oil...but runs perfectly........ is it OK to use 10W-40 motor oil? I was figuring with all the miles and wear on the motor....the tolerances must have widened a bit and a slightly thinker oil might be good...... any help would be...

I installed the shift cable but cannot figure out how the cable goes onto the shifter. I was able to hoorup the three with the clips. How do I get it on? Do I use a a pair of plyers or just push it on? I tried pushing it on but it does not go on.

I have a 94 SL with power windows. The front windows go 1/2 way down and then stop. They won't raise or lower. Any suggestions other that relacing the motor and/or regulators? Just hoping its something I'm overlooking Thanks

Synchro bad in manual transmission??? 97 SW1 SOHC 168k 5sp manual transmission. Original owner. Bought car from Fargo, ND Saturn dealer in Oct 97 with 65 miles on it. Only two valid instances of mechanical trouble. In the summer of 2002, engine temperature sensor went bad. Way overcharged by...

97 SW1, 171,000 miles, 275200 kilometers. The tumbler on the ignition switch has been messed up for a couple of years now (where you have to fight it to get the key in the ignition slot). But just today, I noticed that the alarm bell (ding?) stays engaged when I remove the key and open the...

I have had my car scanned with an OB2 scanner and it comes up with codes P0404 and P1414 or PI414 they show up as a problem with the EGR Valve. I tried taking off and cleaning out carbon,but right after clearing codes and driving short distance get same codes back again.Should i replace the egr...

I have a sohc engine and the car is idling rough and sounds like a miss at the tailpipe and running rich. All the plugs are firing. When pulling the plug wires off one at a time you see a noticeable difference except at the number 2 cylinder you don't and there is a fast ticking sound coming...

I live in Toronto where it frequently drops below 0 degrees fahrenheit. I am considering getting a 2005 Ion2. I would appreciate any and all feedback as to whether there any problems starting an Ion in such temperatures. I own a 2001 SL2 and never have had a problem

My lease on my 2001 SL2 (33K) is almost up. My dealer wants to place me in a 2005 Ion2...although a long time Saturn fan, I have heard mixed reviews about the Ion....The only non-insurance problem I have had with my SL2 was a dead battery, though I thnik the motor is not as zippy as it was. Do I...

My 2002 SL2 had to be towed in to the dealer for, as it turns out, a dead battery. I still have 8 months on the lease. I was somewhat "surprised" when my salesperson called me, while the car was being examined, to tell me that he saw my car towed in and wanted offer me a "special" deal to put...

My 2001 SL2 (35,000 Kilometers)would not start and had to be towed in to my dealer. Before Service even analyzed the reason (turned out to be a dead battery) my salesperson called me to tell me that he saw my car towed in and wanted to offer me a special deal that would allow me to get out of my...

Friend of mine suggested I consider an Elantra over the Ion2. He said it is at least as good a car, comes with a 5 yr bumper to bumper warranty, snd has zero finance purchasing. Comments please

looks like i have a blown head gasket or warped head. i found oil in my coolant. i like to do the work myself.looks like a big job and i have never done any cylinder head removal or installation.my question is do i have to remove the engine or just raise it a little and put a jack under the oil...

I have a 95 saturn with 340,000km(I live in canada)I have replaced the front wheel bearings, tierods, lower control arms,but not the strut assemblies or the rear wheel bearings.The bearings in the back sound fine but I don't know how long I should put it off. Also the front right strut bearing...

Hi, I have a 2001 Saturn LW200. When I was jammed in the snow, I realised that only one wheel (the right one) seem to give some traction. Is it normal ? Thank you ! Stephane B.

We took a few days off to visit one of our fine lake resorts, as we like to do every year. My 1996 SL2 was our means of transportation and we covered the 266 km in short order. I stopped once to find out where the motel's parking lot was. I moved the car to the unloading spot and we had a meal and...

I've followed Saturn's recommended service fairly closely since I got this boat in the fall of '95. Probably never missed one but had them a little earlier or later, depending on circumstances. After close to 10 years on the road I'm still satisfied. My only beef is size, mainly getting in and...
