Has anybody witnessed a similar situation: Wipers turned on to maximum speed during heavy rain. After rain becomes less heavy, switched to lower speed, which works. After rain stops, tried to turn wipers off. Moved the lever to all five positions (single pulse, off, intermittent, low speed,...

What is the best site to get used body parts on-line, or do you go to a local junk yard and use their network?

My '92 SL2 has really been a good car for the last 12 years. Minimal repairs and it still looks nearly new with 101k on the odo. Recently I noticed some rust appearing in the rear door sills. I know this is normal for this model and year. But I would like to hear if anyone has repaired this...

Thank you for your feedback, so the emergency key for ION1 should be the same as regular key in that it can open the door, it can start engine? Then, why does the users manual says ION has PassLock system? it is also typo? Thanks...

I'm hoping like hell this osn't affecting the electrical system,in the cold weather,this isn't the best for the battery.

Hi folks, I got my first saturn ION 1 a month ago, and the emergency key got mailed last week. the description says it can only open the door, but cannot start ignition; I tried and it does not only open the door but also start ignition. is it something wrong with the key, or the...

Hi. I haven't found the exact symptoms I'm experiencing on this site, so I'm posting my own question. My 2000 Saturn LS won't start. The battery appears to be fine. The lights are bright, the stereo is loud. But when I turn the key I just hear a single click sound in the engine compartment, on the...

I picked up a beater car and I suspect it has a cracked head. The coolant looks frothy and there is oil getting into the number 1 and 2 cylinders (plugs oily). It is vey little oil, but builds up as it sits. The car stutters at very low load as if compression was zig-zagging up and down. At full...

My 96 SW2 has had a strong engine vibration problem when accelerating. I feel it primarily in the accelerator pedal and steering column. When cruising at a steady speed it purrs. The engine is otherwise running perfectly The dealer replaced the top engine mount which fixed the problem...

Hello Everyone! I have a 95 SL2 and the belt has started squealing something fierce - intermittently of course. The squeal is only in the morning when it's cold (I'm in Houston, so cold is relative)! I have to turn the car off to get rid of the squeal. Sometimes I can start the squeal by...

My daughter is having some problems with her "5 year old" coupe. I can't help much because my Saturn is 12 yo, is a station wagon, is white, and has a stick shift. In her own words: =========== The vehicle, a rather small coupe less than five years old, has had one previous unknown owner. The...

We are looking at a 1999 Sc1, with about 62,000 miles, auto.has the 1.9 engine, it is just a base unit no 3rd door or sun roof, no cruise. What is a fair price for this car? Some dings and scraps, but looks good and clean inside and believe to have been taken care off. Any advice good or bad? ...

Hi all, I don't know much about cars but I know when my car is messed up. I think it's a fairly simple problem but no one has figured it out. The problem started when I took my 2003 ION for its 10,000 mile check up. They did only minor stuff, didn't change the oil, they did change the heat filter,...

I've had my 99 SC2 for about 2 years now, and up until now, it's been problem free, a really great car. However, I've been having this problem where on occasion, a few days a week, it will randomly stall, or when parked won't start up again, and I lose all power- when it does start up again the...

The check engine light came on in my wife's 2001 SL2 Saturn (~61,000 mile). I had an OBD2 scan done and it said it was the SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM. The guy at Advanced said to take it to a mechanic saying that they had better tools to narrow down the exact cause. Have any of you had this...

I have a 2000 SL1 and when I shut off my wipers, instead of coming to rest at the bottom of the windshield, they stop in the complete upright position. Other than that, they work fine. Is there anyway to easily correct this, short of going to the dealer? Thanks in advance

Q: I have been chasing a canister purge solinoid code (26) for a while. I had a bad Solinoid and some bad hoses -- all were leaking pretty badly. Canister is okay. I checked my wiring and PCM -- all good. But after ~30 seconds of running, the code reappears and the SES comes on. Just out of dumb...

well my saturn muffler clamp is old rusted and having trouble getting it off.....help

I just took our '00 Saturn wagon in to my local mechanic, 'add coolant' light was on, a little antifreeze on the garage floor. He put it up on the hoist & said looks like it's leaking out of the head gasket. -- He put some stop-leak liquid in, for a temporary fix. Has anyone on this NG replaced a...
