No power, rough idle by
Roy[_1_]
98 SL1, 165,000km
I have rough idle down around 500-750RPM (it usually idles just over
1000RPM). Very little power. When I floor it in neutral the RPM gauge goes
to 4200 and pulses.
Looking under the hood at lunch time and the PCV hose was cracked/split and
flattened. I replaced the hose but...

Oppie[_1_]
Just got a letter from saturn saying that they want to buy back my 2001
lw300 at above market trade-in. It went on to say that they want my car to

E85 for 94 Saturn by
wavy
What would it take to get a 94 or 95 SC2 to run on E85?
Change in Fuel Delivery? Modified PCM?
E85 is now available in my area and its CHEAPER (not cheaper ENOUGH,
though)!

2000 LS1 Air Conditioning recharging by
nospam
As the summer approaches, the temps are up so my wife turned on her A/C over
the weekend and it just blew hot air.
Since this car was new, she's had to take it in to a Saturn dealer 4 times
to address this issue. Each time they said they "fixed a leak and recharged
it" and it works for the rest of...

SL2 Rotted out & fails NYS Inspection...*Sigh* by
IYM
Well, my somewhat faithful 94 SL2 is going the way of greener pastures (or
Mexico/Latin America)....
Believe it or not, the roof rotted out from the inside where it meets the
windshield, and I developed 2 long stress cracks from the roof flexing. I
didn't know that the cracks were from the rot...

98 SL2 Automatic Transmission Hesitates Shifting Into Reverse by
Richard Davies
When the transmission is hot, there is a 1 to 2 second pause when shifting
from Park into Reverse. If I'm not thinking and step on the gas, the engine
revs and the shift results in quite a jolt which I'm sure is not good for
the transmission. If you just give it a little time, the shift occurs...

2002 SL2 Idles Hot by
Joseph Bloch
I just bought a 2002 SL2 and love it but for one thing; I noticed that
when stopped at a red light or in traffic the temperature gauge goes
from slightly over 1/4 to past 1/2. Once the car gets moving again,
the temperature goes back to normal. (I've never just let it sit for
ten minutes or so to...

Relay by
Roy Scherer
We are considering a new Relay van. Does anyone have experience with them.
Also, I may be able to get one for wholesale through a GM employee/friend.
Does anyone know how to estimate wholesale price ? e.g. is MSRP say 30% over
wholesale ?

latest Saturn Horror Story by

Saturn of Grand Rapids.
After taking my 2004 L300 Saturn into Saturn of GR for an oil change
and tire rotation, I was told that my front craddle bushings were
separating and had to be replaced
(after only 37,400 miles). I was told by the Service Advisor that this
was a common occurrence, due...

04 V6 AWD Vue - Transaxle fluid by
Howard Slomer
Where is the dipstick for checking the transaxle fluid? My owners
manual has a nice description on how to check the fluid level on Page 5-26
and references Page 5-12 to find the location of the dipstick. The V6
diagram is actually on Page 5-14 but has no reference to the transaxle
dipstick...

water in the tranny fluid by

i have a 95 sc2, and lately it had been shifting hard, and not wanting to
shift into 3rd. it would either stick, or try to force itself into 3rd and
"give up" (so i'd be going down the highway at 65mph while it sticks in 2nd
because it wouldnt go to 3rd), or it would do 1st, 2nd, and 4th (only...

oil stuff by
Mephistopheles Jones
Hi all,
I've got a 1993 SL2 manual 144,000 miles. First a quick question: do you
guys pay $5/qt for the Mobil 5W30 synthetic oil? I can't seem to find it
cheaper anywhere else. I'm in Los Angeles, by the way.
Also, are all oil filters the same? Instead of buying the cheapest one at
Autozone,...

Low Engine Coolant Light by
jmthomp1
I have a 99SL2 that has recently started having the Low Coolant/Auto
Transaxle Fluid Temp warning light flash for the first few minutes of
operation after starting. Just does it now and then and stops after about
half a mile. The coolant level is normal. Do you think the sensor is going
bad ?

it might be?

Turn Left and Blower Turns ON!!! by
carnovice
I'm experiencing problems with the blower on my 2000 Saturn SL100. It
has been acting up and mysteriously kicks on when I turn left - then
when I straighten out the wheel it stops again.
This only works then the car is in motion. Turning the wheel while in
park does not work. Can anyone tell me...

Loud Running---L-300?? by
[email protected]
Why has my L-300 suddenly started running very loud? It seems to be
super loud on the freeway at speeds over 60. Could it be an exhaust
problem, or something? I do not think it is my tires, because I hear
the same noise while the car is at idle, only not so loud. Any help on
this problem will be...
