Interesting take on Ethanol and flex fuels by Oppie[_8_]
I was reading in machine design magazine, an interesting editorial on why detroit is so interested in flex fuels. Seems the MPG standards are (for purposes of CAPE) based solely on the gasoline component of the fuel. This is of course, an artificial number just to get past regulatory...

Bad news, possible cracked head by J B
Took my SW2 in to Sears Auto for an oil change. After doing the job they told me to take the car into an engine shop ASAP, because when they pulled the dipstick out a little smoke was coming out and "that usually means a cracked head gasket". So all the money I spent at the Saturn dealership trying...

96 SL 2 has a boring noise by Leeinwind
The mechanic told my friend her 96 SL2's noise came from the A/C compressor. The repair fee is even more expensive than the car. But till now, everything works fine. Even A/C also works very well. Does she need to get the problem fixed? What's the exact reason of so much noise? Thanks a million in...

2000 Saturn LW2 IAT Sensor location? by news
Anyone know where exactly the IAT sensor is on this 3.0 L V6 (comes from Saab) engine? I've looked all over the intake area, can't find it. The sensor is small, has a two-wire plug. DTC error indicated a bad IAT, P0113 "IAT sensor 1 circuit high input". TIA

New '06 models by marx404
We just got in a "secret" stash of 2006 ION and VUEs. First of all, I am already impressed with the changes in the ION: Optonal 2.4L engine has performance suspension and sportier sounding exhaust. Engine has built-in oil cooler module. ION & VUE: New radio! Center large selector dial with tabbed...

1993 SL bucks... suggestions? by K. Daver
Hey everyone.. I have a 1993 Saturn SL manual 5 speed which has started bucking while driving. It has about 160k miles on it and has been EXTREMELY dependable until now. While driving it, it will start to buck. There doesn't seem to be any pattern except for once in a while it will buck. At...

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...

"service engine soon" on '93 SL1 by [email protected]
My '93 SL1 with 143k miles suddenly had the SES light come on a couple days ago. The light only comes on going 65 mph or greater on an upward incline, or at 68-70 mph minimum on flat ground. Any idea what this could be? It recently barely failed an emissions test, but I didn't drive it much...

Vue 2004, V4 5-speed Manual---Opinions? by MSEagan
My husband and I test drove a Vue today. We took it on the highway and it seemed to have good power even though it was only a V4, 5-speed. So, I am wondering if there are any red flags with this car that any of you know of? We could go to the V6 FWD automatic, but we may want to buy another...

Need help fast, spark plugs drenched in oil. by [email protected]
I have a 1991 Saturn SL Sedan 1.9L DOHC. I read a similar post about this but wasn't sure. I pulled out the number 1, 2, and 3 plugs and they were covered in oil, number 1 being the worst and the number 4 cylinder being completely dry. Could this be the valve cover gasket? I replaced the plugs...

Performance by Lee3333
Any comments on either the electronic superchargers being advertised on the net or the resistor that tricks the car into thinking it is colder outside?

Temp gauge reads cold by Ratbert
On a ~100-mile drive, the temperature gauge on our 98 SL2 never went over about 1/8. The heater seemed to be blowing out plenty of warm air on us. Does this sound like a bad thermostat, CTS, or something else?

Ion vs. Chevy Cobalt: same car? by [email protected]
I might be in the mrket for a new car next year and two of the reasonable choices in my price range are the Saturn Ion and the Cevrolet Coabalt. (Of course another option is to buy a bigger, safer higher-end vehicle used, but I want to go new if I can; I've fought most of the used car battles over...

Synthetic Oil Questions by Gary
Do you think Saturn would kill my warranty if I wanted to use a synthetic or part synthetic oil like Mobil 1 or Clean 7500? I have the 2005 ION QC (not redline) and the manual is pretty explicit on regular oil, but I want to have this car last a good long time and the Clean 7500 is less than $3...

Saturn vs Pontiac by marx404
Just a fun topic: We have a few Pontiac Grand Ams and GP's on our lot, and quite frankly I am impressed with them. There are many features that are similar to the ION inside. I like the ION steering better though and had a good laugh when I learned that the GT GrandAM V6 w/ "ram air" only puts...
