Hey all, I have a 2000SL1 with 78K miles. Automatic (2nd transmission >.< ouch). When the weather bottoms out and the temp drops the car will start and idle at 3000RPM. Yikes! Then it will drop down to normal, but when I put it in gear, the RPMs go back up and the car could practically drive...

I think that's what it is. 57,000 miles. Very good buy to me if I choose to get it. Any issues like the 1995 "oil burner" I've got now or something similar that would make me want to avoid this car? Joe in Northern, NJ - V#8013-R Currently Riding The "Mother Ship"

My rear tail light just quit and the dealer told me I need to replace the whole assembly. Priced at $111, I told him forget it. He did mention that there's a circuit board on each tail light, and mine has failed. If so, could someone tell me if it's worth trying to fix. I can get a used assembly on...

Hello again; The ignition key 'sticks' when you try to take it out of the ignition. It feels like something clamps the key in tight. Eventually you can remove it. But, it is getting to the point where the key has to be left in the ignition when you get out of the car. The key or ignition...

Can't find the manual anywhere, and I originally did this so long ago I can't recall how to do it. Just had to have the body computer changed on this car, and now the door locks all open up when I shut off the engine. Can someone tell me how I reset the system so the locks stay closed when the...

I replaced the fule pump, the ignition mod. and the car still won't start. Any help would be great. Thanks

Can I just change the clutch, without changing the compressor. The clutch is bad not the compressor. If so where can I purchase the puller tools and clutch, Thanks in advance Joe

Less than a year ago my local Saturn service department "did the fix" on the apparently very common "slow coolant loss around the oil coolant connector" problem. Now with about a week left on the factory warranty, the coolant level is once again slowly dropping. (We have not yet run into the...

Luckily we have a Extended Service agreement, so if the problem is truly fixed it only cost us the $50 deductible. Notcied the car was louder suddenly. Sounded like the valve covers or maybe a header was loose. Didn't see any drippings or smoke out of the pipe, but the oil appeared low. Filling...

We wouldn't want to violate the speed of light or murphy's law. Our 2001 LW200 with a 5-speed manual tranny ran out of extended coverage last June and now is showing signs of semi-annual irritations. Some might recall me posting in August/September of it acting as if it were a flooded...

Our 2001 LW200 was pushed 8 feet up the hill from it's curbside spot Sunday morning. Our evil old neighbor was adjusting the seat of his son- in-law's Ford Expedition and accidentally floored the car in reverse. He swerved out of his driveway, across the street and nailed the Saturn wagon dead...

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...

Where's the gas filter on this beast?

As I understand the factory heater bolts to the engine block. Which to me would seem to be inefficiant. Anyone using an inline rad hose heater?

My 2001 Sat L200 started having issues this week with hesitation when starting from a stop or accelerating to pass. It starts okay, but just seems to be lacking the power it has always had. I had planned on changing the fuel filter this weekend to see if that would help, but tonight when I went...

I have a 2001 Saturn L Series. There is a constant clicking from the 4 way flashers. When the turn signals or 4 ways are on they work fine. When not working the flashers continue to click rapidly. I am assuming the flasher needs replaced. My question - how do I get to the flasher? Does the...

I need to replace the fuel pump, I removed the back seat but there is no access. Any tips on removing the tank, and or any fuel pump tips would be appreciated.

I've got this code coming on after the car got hot one day, which explains why it got. P0480 is what Autozone diagnosed. The PCM has determined that a malfunction exists in the control circuit for cooling fan 1. P0481: Same thing, except with cooling fan 2. P0133: The response time for oxygen...

Anyone know where I can get an owner's manual for a 2001 Saturn SL1. TIA jdd
