I hope there is still someone here. I have a 98 SW1 that has not been on the road for a couple of years but has been regularly (@ 2-3 months) started and driven around a large yard to keep the gears and engine oiled. I always let the engine warm up fully and changed all fluids before putting in...

Any pointers on where to find the adjustment for the e-brake on a LW-200? I can't find any adjustment on the lever inside, so it must be under the car right? It doesn't have self-adjusting rear drums does it? Should be easy enough to tighten up by lifting the rear wheels and sliding under if it...

I'm thinking of purchasing a New 2008 or used 2008 Sky Red Line, been reading a lot about it on many sites, anyone own one that wants to comment? -- - Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum. - Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented worker" is like calling a drug dealer an...

Car: 1995 Saturn SL1 SOHC, standard transmission, 4 cyl. Mileage 237,000 Km Symptom: Hard to describe here but perhaps as “hesitation”? Either while running or at idle, engine seems to hesitate. More noticeable on the highway, pressing the gas pedal the car will on occasion jerk, lurch,...

I ride a 1997 SL SOHC, 185.000 Km, standard transmission. Oil is changed every 3500 Km, I use Castrol Synthetic 5W30, and K&N oil filter. I know; some of you might believe it is a waste of money; but I am a FIRM believer of preventive maintenance. I am VERY satisfied with this car. Question: Which...

I just read an article in Popular Science (or Mechanics) about a guy that is the champ of wringing mileage out of cars with careful driving. I applied some of his techniques for about half of my last tank and got 41.8 MPG driving back and forth to work. All city, bad stop and go on the way home....

My grandparents recently bought me a 1997 SL1 with my money without consulting me first. I am having a couple issues that I'm not sure where to start. 1. Last week, I blew a tire. While changing the tire I found that the brake drum easily slides off without making any adjustments. I know that it...

I am thrilled with my new Ecotec engine! My manual '07 ION.3 2.2L has a great clutch, but the shifter feels like absolute sh*t, cheap, caca, etc...it feels like I am forcing it into gear and it goes with all the smoothness of operating a forklift lever. I have noticed on used IONs that the...

Ok, here is the problem. a few weeks ago a slight knocking sound and a soft howl started. I had no other issues as for as I could tell. And checked and replaced my fluids ever 3 to 4 months. My room mates said I should take it in for a repairs directly to the Saturn Dealer here in San Jose...

I installed SPS performance spark plug wires and Bosch Platinum +4 plugs about 20K miles ago. Everything seems to be working fine, but I realized recently that I never checked whether or not the plugs and wires were resistively matched. Also, I'm fairly sure that the plug gap is different from the...

A few weeks back, my old 1990 dodge sedan died and we started looking for something to replace it. With our growing family of 5 (and the extra stuff one must haul as a result) we decided on a smaller SUV and went to a local Saturn lot that had a good mix used models from various makers. The...

Okay, okay...I thought I was ready...I had everything together, and thought I'd be able to recognize the oil filter housing....WRONG! Where is it you guys? What does it look like? On which side of the engine, etc. etc. Should I get it from above or below? Is it in the block...or? Thanks ahead of...

I am considering multiple suspension upgrades to reduce the excessive wear on my tires. My 97 SL1 is stock (and yes, properly aligned) and went through, Yokohama Avid T4 in 9,000Mi (alignment and suspension items check before and after) and chewed 6/32" off the new V rated BF Goodrich Traction T/A...

my acceleration went out on me this morning while i was on the freeway. When I went to step on the gas pedal, nothing happened. I let it sit for about 15 minutes, while it was running, and then I tried it again and it went for about 50 yards, and wouldn't go any more... It started to die when I...

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...
