Flush Radiator - Opinions by Richard
What is the general consensus on flushing a radiator using your garden hose? First, I know that you can't dump the coolant itself, but is it okay if residual coolant is washed out on the ground while flushing (I'm in MN BTW, if anyone knows)? Second, my mother's bf, who is kind of a blow-hard...

Mods for better gas mileage by Old time radio fan
There's plenty of stuff to get more horsepower out there. What is there to improve the gas mileage for an Ion or SL2? Do any real products actually exist? Related: Anybody try a gasoline preheater? I put a homemade one on a '74 Mercury Capri and got better gas mileage. Why don't we see...

"The unforgiveable sins this earth must confront and overcome are Nationalism, capitalism, and hoarding. The idea of every nation should be forgot, price should be struck from the commons, and princes should be seen for the devils they are. The sins include our church, secret societies, and other...

S series front wheel bearings by private
My wife has just emailed me about a noisy wheel bearing. She reported whirring noise she described as persistent, related to acceleration, deceleration, but not when idling. I assume she means the noise continues at steady highway speed.but quiet when not in motion. I have taught her to listen...

SC1 stalling/starting problems by crowold
I've read a couple other postings with similar comments but I thought I would get some opinions on my situation. My '97 SC1 seems to occasionally have starting and idling problems. Most of the time (when it occurs) the car has a bad shuddering when idling. when you accelerate there seems to be...

98 SC2 Starting/Stalling Problem Intermittent by Gary
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...

Ding in windshield by Oppie
Some April Fools joke, a car going the other way on a 2 lane highway kicked up a stone which landed right in the middle of my sight line. Left a 3/4" ding which hopefully can be repaired. At the recommendation of the garage next door, I called 'windshield wizard' to look at it. I tried on two other...

XM Radio by marx404
Supposedley I hear that Saturn (& GM) will be putting XM equipped radios in all future models. (its an available option right now). Just my 2 cents on XM, I think its the greatest thing since CD's. After selling many cars and setting it up for customers, I was sold on it, bought one for myself. I...

95 SL2 codes by Greg
My daughter has a 95 SL2, auto that dies occasionally at stops. Jumpered the ALDL and got SES code 32, which I understand points to the EGR - will check it out this weekend. But, after flashing the SES 32, it flashed the Coolant light code 84. I can't find any info on that code, or even...

Ion - dissapointing by Mike
Checked out the new Ion's this week. The car was ok. They were not especially striking or loaded with features for 15-18k. But, NONE of the cars on the lot had anti-lock brakes. The salesman gave me some cock and bull story about how the ion has 50% of the weight on the front and back so you...

Removing frozen bolts??? by JacktheCat Turkey
I'm finally replacing the head gasket on my 95 SW1 SOHC because I'm now having to add 1/2 gallon/day in water-(green)antifreeze. No "milkshakes" just a good green leak from the front and back of the engine. This is a by-the-book (Haynes) job. I can't locate a FSM. The 10mm bolts holding the AC...

Two flats in one day by Oppie
Got to work the other day in a few inches of snow. I had my boots on while driving and found that the parking lot at work was already cleaned. Decided to change into my regular shoes before going in. While changing, heard a 'gurgling' sound. Seemed to come from the rear driver's side tire...

Cracked radiator, leaking lines, etc.. (fixed after $530) by python newbie
Have you ever had service done on your SL1 (mine's a late 90's) and then, after the service (which was over $600 for a 90,000 plus a fuel fitler and a pvc valve), a week later you had more problems come up that you just kinda *feel* would not have come up if you hadn't had the Service in the...

1995 SL2 - Intermittent idle/stall issue by Bill
I have a 1995 SL2 with 102,000 miles that is not regularly used. After it sits for a few days, it won't idle correctly. On cold start, the idle settles at 700-750, but as soon as I use the throttle and then back off, it will chuff along at 400-500 or, more usually, die. The problem persists after...
