The last item of my 100,000 mile maintanence schedule is replacing the fuel filter. I got a new one from the dealer and started the change. The outlet line came off with no problems, but I can't seem to find how the two inlet lines lines are secured to the old filter. There's a little plastic tab...

Daughter's 2001 SL2 has a serious problem -- engine runs but makes terrible & loud banging noise. A mechanic listened briefly and said it sounds like she threw a rod. Took the valve cover off & everything looks good & clean, plenty of oil. Just 90,000 miles on the car. She went to the...

We have a 98 SC2 with about 70,000 miles. Some days it will not start. It turns over fast, but not matter how long you crank it it will not start. I do not smell any gas, like it is flooded. Mostly it will not start when it is very cold. Like 10 degree winter night. Next day it starts like there...

This year's coverage of the Saturn Performance Club's 2007 Rally has been posted on my site. It was held in mid-May and was the club's tenth annual. Instead of raving about it here, I'll let the photos tell the story. You'll find 10 new pages and 89 photos & video clips he...

Apparently everything that I suspected had a problem that I didn't know what caused actually has a problem! I always felt the breaks in my car were weak, and now I am aware of why - the master cyl is going south. But yeah. They found out the flywheel in my car was majorly screwed up - thus the...

Our Saturn sl2 1995 with 190k vibrates terrible at speeds above 40mph. The Upper motor was replaced as well as the wishbone one. Any suggestions. Thanks

Does anyone have a factory service manual or know off hand the R134 refrigerant and associated lubricant capacity for a 1996 SL? I just replaced a damaged condenser on my son's SL, but did not disrupt anything else in the system. There was clearly oil still left in the system so I'm guessing I...

My wife had and accident which involved the front right fender, The Bumper cover and a motorcycle. We bought new parts and were planning on putting them on ourselves. The concern have is finding out the hard way that it was a fluke that the airbags did not deploy when she hit this thing. Can I...

I have problem with my A/C - it is not cool enough. Originally I thought that I have missing some Freon. I did some diagnostics already: 1. A/C compressor is running 2. fan is running 3. Freon pressure is correct - at the top of the green zone at 2000 RPM Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

1994 SL2 It is recommended that the battery be discnnected when you replace a fuse in the fuse box(pass. side)? This is concerting I trying to fogure out why the power locks are not working Second question. How doone pull out the cigarette lighter. I do not smoke and want to use a power adapter.

I got too close to someone moving and ncked my front bumper on the left side. It hung to the ground until a friend tied it up. I went to the Saturn dealer, they can't just push the bumper back in place, there's some things that broke so I need a new bumper. I was prepared for a high estimate but...

I'm getting an adapter that plugs into the receiver of my Saturn so I can listen to my MP3 player through the AUX mode on my stereo. My only problem is, I have no idea where the receiver is. I looked in the trunk in the side panels, which is where my receiver was in another car, but didn't find...

"Check Engine Light" comes on from time to time. I've had a mechanic check it with his diagnostic computer it said the EGR vavle was bad, he replaced it, about a year later the check engine light came on from time to time. Then it was the O2 sensor, it was replaced. As I said, the light is on again...

I had posted a couple of previous messages asking about harsh shifting on my son's 1996 Saturn SL1 (1.9L single cam), but no one seemed to have any advice to offer so I replaced the Torque Axis Mount (was going bad the new one definitely reduces engine movement on shifting), then tried...

This might just be a stupid thread. What is the highest EGTs i can safely run in my 1.9L? and what should it be at idle? Cruising 3000rpm? I think mine might be high, i know alluminum melts at 1350F and under high load-high rpm with good AFRs i can hit 1500F. At idle it is 800F. WTF Post your...

This Saturn S1 (1998) runs good most of the time but will after running for a good long time will sometimes begin chugg1ng and running rough. There is a trouble code in the computer for coolant sensor, but of course the car does not misbehave like this whenever the mechanic has been looking at...

I have a 92 Saturn SC2 up for grabs, the it's got 260,000km on it. Engine(which is 1.9L DOHC) runs like a clock. Burns less then 1L of oil every 5,000Km. Clutch needs to be replaced. Sold AS-IS. Make me a offer I can't refuse. Don't bother emailing me some stupid low ball. Email me directly to ...

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...

I thought the battery had drined after leaving the lights on. When I went to jump it...the car starts...runs on iddle without cables for 10 minutes no problem, but when I try driving it, the car stalls and dies. When I try to start it again, the battery is dead. I jumped it again, and as running on...
