I have a 94 Saturn that seems to have a random over heating problems. Out of the blue the engine just starts to over heat, usually while idling, some times while driving. It might go weeks and not have a problem then out of the blue starts to over heat. Is goes from normal which the needle stays...

I just bought a 1998 sl2. Not 10 minuets after I bought I ran into some guy that told me that they have a bad problem with breaking timing chains. being that I only paid $1000.00 for it I am not to concerned if I have to replace it but I was just wondering if any one knows about this problem ( if...

With the 2005 model year just around the corner, SaturnFans.com has assembled a list of the rumored changes to each of Saturn's existing models. Look for a more complete - and official - list to be posted online as soon as it becomes...

Reading my email at the office this AM, found a new offering from International Rectifier. They have a new regulator mechanism that gets built into the alternator. Similar to the ones used for years except now there is a serial communication link between the alternator and bcm/ecu...

Hi, I have a Saturn 01 sl2 that will not start it will crank but will not turn over I don't know if its because it 30 below today or what. Heres the problem: Car would not start tried to Jump start the car. Car would not take the jump. So decide to change the battery, still noting, checked the...

My automatic 92 Saturn had the "Shift to D2" light go on a few days ago. Then the transmission started acting funny. While in "Drive" it would accelerate very slowly as if starting from a high gear. When shifting from "drive" to D3, D2 or reverse, the whole car would jump as if the motor mounts...

I have a 1993 Saturn SL. On cold starts in the morning there is no problem putting the car into reverse gear (automatic) and driving. However, after the car has been warmed up and has been running for awhile if you try to put car into reverse there is a delay and then it goes into reverse with a...

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...

I read a simular article about clutch not disengaging. I bought a 92 sl2 with a blown engine, I replaced the engine and At the same time i replaced the clutch. Now back together the clutch will not disengage.I took the slave cylinder out and it pumps out with the pedal depressed. I am stumped to...

We're having a heck of a blizard today in Metro New York. Had to make a few erands before the snow got too high and was driving in aobut 4" of powder snow. The 'low traction' light was on for a good portion of the trip and it was certainly no speed demon as the system cut the throttle to...

NEWS FLASH! For 1990's Saturns (certainly '95 plus or minus a couple years) that shift into reverse slowly or slam when they do, or for Saturns that may not shift into upper gears when warm (often setting a diagnostic trouble code and lighting the Service Engine Soon indicator), the most common...

It is well past the time for my son's Saturn transmission to be serviced. My Nissan guy used a process that exchanges/replaces over 90% of the fluid, but the down side is that pan doesn't come off and the filter doesn't get changed. It is my understanding that conventional transmission...

Hello, I have a 94 Saturn SC2 with rear disk breaks, I need to change the pads on them, when I pulled the caliper off I tried to push the piston back in and it would not move, I then tried with a clamp and it still would not move. Yes the emergancy break was off. but that did get me thinking that...

Has anyone had any experience with the Saturn Relay? I spotted one the other day. I didn't even know they were out until then and hadn't seen any mention on this group about it. I checked out the information on Saturn's website, built my own, did side by side comparisons with a couple of other...

I replaced a burn out bulb in the dash today for this 93 wagon lap seatbelt warning light and it only seems to work with the drivers lap seatbelt. Should other lap seatbelts such as the passenger's also trigger the warning light? Or the back seat lap seatbelts? Just curious as I had a passenger...

Well - 2 weeks ago I got a speeding ticket with my '06 Vue for doing 78mph. Where I live (LI) that's the average speed everyone does and it was just my unlucky day to get singled out of the pack. I've been driving since 1987 and have never gotten a ticket before, so you figured he would have...

I own a 2007 Saturn Aura XR that has 171K total miles on it. I've had it since the summer of 2009 and I've driven it approximately 140K miles. The following problem has plagued me for approximately the last 12 months: Whenever I fill the gas tank, the very next time I try to start the car it...

Question for Larry (Bl@h Blah) or anyone whos knows the answer: As you advised, I bought a TAAT factory manual and am all set to reinstall the valvebody, but I have a question not explained by the manual -- about installing the "Manual Valve". The manual says to "Lower the valvebody and insert...

My 1995 Saturn SW1 has become increasingly difficult to shift. We thought it might be the clutch and replaced it. it hasn't solved the problem. Symptoms: Clutch has to jammed to the floor, and then the shift lever somewhat forced into gear. Most difficultly is with lower gears. When looking at...
