Hey, I love my ecotec engine but am getting sick/bored of the rest of my ION. Been liking the looks of the G5/G6 4cyl and wanted to know your thoughts on reliability and especially quality, especially since you seem to know Pontiacs pretty well. Thanks. -- marx404 <all gmail posts...

Was wondering if anybody knows the service bulletin for this. Received it about 8 months ago. Stating malfuntion with running lights. They stop working or start blinking. Mine is doing it now, but I can find the recall.

I heard a clunk in the rear going over a bump. Thought it was a bad shock but it turned out to be a worn lower control arm outer bushing. I called two parts dealers and they have no listing for bushings. Before I go to Saturn parts, does anybody have information on the availability of these? Was...

Thanks Bob & Folks My problem with the reverse/back-up lights switch is resolved. I was examining the wrong switch to be honest. There are two sensors that appear similar on my manual transaxle case. One sensor (2 wire) is near the back, which I saw when looking from underneath the car. The...

Hi, My 1997 Saturn has a new battery installed 3 months ago. I don't drive much, and it started perfectly normally the last time I drove it a week ago. (It's been a cold week with average temperature just below freezing - not too bad really). This morning when I attempted to start it, it was...

I just finished a blueprint ovehaul of my "94 SL2, and want to get a two row performance radiator to add extra cooling capacity before next summer. I found a place on line that sells them, but the URL was lost when my saved sites got blown away on AOL. Does anybody know who sells them? I remember...

Has anyone purchased a Vue (4cyl) with the VTI transmission and put some serious mileage on it? How does it drive and how does it hold up? Curious, PH -- R e m o v e XYZZY f r o m e m a i l a d d r e s s w h e n r e p l y i n g

Hi, hoping for some advice. My daughters 1997 SC2 popped on it's check engine light this weekend. I went to Autozone for the code check and it came back with P0420 Catalytic Control Efficiency Below Threshold - Bank 1. Thoughts on what this really could be? I replaced the catalytic converter...

did I Get cheated I paid 324 for a ignition switch to be put in?

The car is a 99 sw2. Stereo worked fine until a few days ago, when suddenly, it stopped putting out any sound. The stereo still works - the disc is certainly being read and played, but there is simply no sound. I've checked and re-checked all wiring and fuses. What am I missing? Is there an amp...

Hi all - several times in the past two weeks, I've had 2 indicators - looks like they are probably "low coolant" and "hot" judging by the symbols - flash red at me maybe 12 times in a row after starting down the road. I can't find my manual, so I went to refill my plastic coolant tank this...

Just talking to my beautiful bride last night about the 60 Minutes segment on Oil. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/12/05/60minutes/main4650223.shtml At this time, my GM truck (2006 Avalanche) is 2 1/2 years old with 40K miles and has zero issues. It has been to the dealer once for a window...

I finally found a copy of "who killed the electric car" and watched it. Sad about how many folks loved their EV-1s and were totally shut out by GM when they tried to renew their leases. Even More sad about the claim how oil is a dwindling resource so let's keep using it so that as reserves get...

Looking for some help with suggestions of what else might be the problem with this not starting. Checked the battery first thing and it is good all the way around. Used Load tester on it and it tested good too. Not a cell issue. All acces. work plus lights, inside and out. Hooked up OBDII and...

I noted my daughters '97 SCII 4 Cyl temp is just barely getting up to the 1/4 mark (and not putting out a lot of heat) & I suspect the thermostat needs to be replaced. Can someone tell me where it's located on that car? By the way, I just replaced the original front rotors and pads at 181K miles....

My SL2 has 135,000 km on the clock. Over the last few months my SL2 has gotten very loud at driving speed. I can only describe it as loud tire noise. I had my exhaust system checked and there were no external leaks, although they did say the baffles might be corroded away. If I listen outside...
