I see the pop-in rivets and have removed these. Got the plastic inside cowl removed, where the wiring harness was attached to. However the last cover seems to be a bear to get out, the cover over the rear wiper motor. Does one need a special tool to pop those clips along that edge, that do not...

I know there are some common resolutions, so you need to understand the history first. 94 Saturn 4 dr / AT inherited the car from step daughter and thought youngest could fix'er up and have his first car. The boyfriend that ran it into the ground had jumped the engine cooling fan over to the A/C...

Any advice on changing the starter in a 98 SC2 1.9L? Special tools needed? I saw the thread above about it being a 6 hour job, hopefully this one is different! Carl

I have a Saturn 1996 SL2 5 speed with 120k miles. The care has always been serviced and is in prime condition inside and out. A few months ago someone backed into me and caused some damage on right front. It will need light assembly replaced and side panel is cracked as well, and hood which...

I have a 1997 Saturn SC with coolant light that blink intermittently. Sometime it is some what rapid, other times the will stay off for several minutes and then start slowly blinking. Coolant lever is correct and the gauge never reads much higher that the first white mark. Any ideas?

Hi, I'm doing a research on car hinges and I'm trying to find some contacts in the automotive industry that could give me some informations on those components and about the manufacturing process that is used to produce the hinges. If any body had some contacts to share, please let me know. Or...

I started hearing a clicking sound from the engine, local mechanic tells me the cam shaft has evidence of damage and the pistons as well. He can replace the engine for $1500, which seems insane for an 11 year old car. I'm shopping around, but I wonder if it's time to junk it. I have 83k on...

I'm at the 60k mark,not 50 like i said earlier,made an appointment to get the 60k stuff done,god this is gonna blow!!.

I'm having some trouble with the AC in my 94 Saturn. installed a new compressor, charged the system, and when I turn it on it stops cooling after a few miles and the pressure in the system goes to 100 pounds and the compressor shuts off and on and the cooling stops. When I release pressure in...

- I'm hoping someone here can give some advice on this one -- my '94 SL2 has a PS pump that is going out; from the looks of things the pulley can be completely bypassed without affecting the belt tensioner? I do have AC. Can anyone who has tried this tell me what length the belt should be? ...

(sorry, no jelly) After cleanup, I noticed that the beautiful Midnight Blue ION.3 I just purchased, the last like it on the lot had some pine tree sap marks on the paint. The shop sent it out to be buffed, but they couldn't get all the residue out of the paint. Bummer. So today I Googled and...

Got this in the mail, so I thought I'd share it on my car & truck newsgroups...Talk about your ultimate dream find...sheesh... IYM >>How would you like to have bought this property? Imagine you're going to live in Portugal.

My 1993 Saturn SL1 starts up fine when the engine is cold (like in the morning) but stalls during the day after the car has been running and the engine is hot. And then the car will not start. It turns over but the engine does not seem to be getting gas. The "check engine" light is on. The fuel...

The Starter was getting a bit intermittent on my '01 LW300. It has 100K miles on it was worth replacing the entire starter. Carquest had a rebuilt for $155 (wholesale) with $55 core charge. The Saturn shop manual did not allude to anything particularly difficult. What the heck, I replace a...

Well here we go again, Saturn number 3. Yesterday 0% financing came out and I traded in the 'ol SC2 for a new '07 ION.3 2.2L in Midnight Blue color w/ grey interior and 16" alloys. Went with stick this time. I kinda suck at stick, but practice makes perfect. There is a notable difference in the...

I am in the North Bronx. I am looking for any local mechanics or someone who knows how to replace a water pump on a 1997 Saturn SL1. I also have the top of the line OBD II auto scanner - reader and if anyone needs to have their codes read , just stop by and I'll do it for you. Please drop all q's...

Lately, my 'o2 trunk has gotten to sound like a creaky old haunted house door when opening or closing. Obvoiusly it needs lubrication, but where and what should I use? -- marx404

The saga continues...taking my '02 SC2 back to the garage 1st thing in the morn. Last week, I had it in and they thought they sealed up a seam where it was leaking. The leak is evidently coming from up by the underside of the cowl vent or nearby up high above the heater motor, waaay up there...
