For several months my 97 SL1 has gotten really bad MPG compared to what it used to get: 35mpg+ vs 25mpg now. I have changed the plugs, but not the wires and was wondering if there is a sensor or sensors that could be causing this. And are the sensors something that I could change out my self. ...

We bought a Sky for my wife last December, with the standard engine and automatic transmission. Shortly after we got it I couldn't help but notice how badly the transmission is programmed. 1. Half the time it takes off in second 2. It's really wishy-washy with the torque converter clutch 3. It...

The ION has a feature where the computer monitors the vehicle's driving conditions and determines when it is time for an oil change. The factory states that oil changes are not needed before that time. Our local Saturn dealers say that this is all wrong, and that the oil should be changed every 3k...

I have the "Service Engine Soon" indicator lit up in my 1996 SL2 (124,000 km). Being a good conscientious owner I took it to the dealer to remedy the situation. The young man labored over his computer and the service writer quizzed me about when I'd last fuelled up. (I'd already checked the fuel...

I'm getting to really hate Saturn Alloy rims. My '94 and '02 had slightly warped rims that had to be road-force balanced to keep the ride perfectly smooth, a driving need that I'm un-conditional about. Those rims were warped by the previous owners, I bought the cars used. Thought now that I have...

Almost out of powertrain warranty ; 90000 km ; Saturn dealer says the head gasket is leaking oil. I see no drips ; no significant usage between oil changes (5000 km) It took the dealer 2 tries - with dye in the oil - to confirm a leak. Any suggestions about the pros & cons of just leaving as is...

Why is this feature always on? I find when I turn it off I get better gas milage. Like 1-3 miles per gallon! So why is the TC in the on position all the time, instead of being on as needed?

Sorry, I've had enough, perhaps you have too...Just FYI for us using OE. I'm sure we are all getting tired of MI5 cr@p and from others. Ignoring and blocking their posts is the best defense. In OE6: Tools / Message Rules / News Select New 1. Select Conditions for your Rule check where Subject...

I've got a 2000 Sl2. I was talking to a friend, and he convinced me to check out getting an exhaust header for my car. I've looked around a bit, but i can only find headers for an Sl2 in the '94-96 range. Are there any i can buy for my car? and if not, why?

What does code P0332 mean? I've got a 92 saturn sl1 that displayed that code. thanks, mike

My daughter has an 01 SL2 which has an air conditioner leak, I believe. I've added the "freon" a couple of times over the past year. I think she let it get too low now to add any more because now the compressor doesn't kick on and therefore doesn't suck in the new stuff. I think before when it...

Just a quick gripe. Noticed on our LW200 Wagon 5 of 6 of the bulbs for the third brake lamp were out. The single bulb lighting was virtually worthless in daylight. I didn't have time to look for alternate sources so went to Saturn. $9 per bulb and the parts guy had his greasy hands all over them...

here's my dilemma and I hope someone in here can help I have a 2005 Saturn ION 2, in the winter when it gets to a certain cold temp outside, the car will not turn over, put a jumper pack on it and it will start eventually, but not unless the booster pack has been hooked up for a time ( at least...

Hi folks, Unfortunately, one of the studs on my exhaust manifold broke, resulting in a light ticking moise when the engine is revved (it sounds like a valve noise). My Saturn mechanic said it happens all the time to the 2.2 engines and it's the stud on the passenger side of the engine. He also...

That post got me thinking,has anyone ever experienced this:The car in front of you seems different,like at a traffic light,the only brake light on is either the extreme left,or, right brake light,all the reat are burned out including the cyclops.How can people be so stupid in not checking their...

My sister just purchased a 1999 Saturn SW2 and wants me to put in an aftermarket CD player - does anyone have the wiring diagram? jh

Hi everyone, My girlfriend has an '01 L300 that has spent its entire automotive career leaking coolant from various places - trans cooler, radiator, water pump, and now it seems the head gasket (at least according to her mechanic - I thought I smelled some vaguely "sweet" exhaust a while ago, but...

I drive an '04 Ion, and latley the power steering light comes on, and the steering wheel gets really tight. I called the guy at the dealership, and he said it's probably fuse. Anyone else had this problem?

I'm barrowing a Vue (1st Generation, I think its the first year they were out) and its stereo is great. Sounds like there are subs and the system can go to "infinity" or I can crank it up to "11" and the CD's sound clear and crisp even though I can feel every note. I once read somewhere that...

Hi, my 92 Saturn SL1 at times seems to lose power and gas mileage has decreased somewhat these symptom sometimes coincide w/ the Service Engine light turning on. Saturn dealker diagnosed the problem as code P0332 then repair opcode: M5305 "wiring to engine scored" $175.00 repair Does this...
