Car Forum / Saturn Cars / June 200795 SL1 problem
I have a 95 SL1 with 146,000 miles on it. It usually runs good but every so often it goes into a fit where it starts to buck and looses power, idles low and rough and doesn't want to rev up. It throws the SES light on also. If I shut it off for a minute or so it's usually ok and the SES light goes out. I've only owned this car since x-mas so I don't have a long history with it. First time this happened was 4 months ago and only once. Recently though it's happened several times. I don't put many miles on this car, it sits mostly. It has new plugs and air filter. The fuel filter looks fairly new but I didn't change it myself. I don't have the money to take it to a dealer to see if theirs any codes stored. It's not OBDII so my code reader doesn't fit it. I'm kind of thinking maybe fuel filter, but it's kind of expensive and I can't just throw parts at it until I hit the problem. Has anyone else had this sort of problem that could shed some insight my way ???? Thanks Brian > >I have a 95 SL1 with 146,000 miles on it.

Many auto parts stores will read the codes for you at no charge, or lend you a reader. You can also find OBD-I readers on eBay pretty cheap. You can also read the codes yourself, without a scan tool. Connect a jumper wire across the A and B terminals of the data link port (under the drivers side dashboard near the kick panel). The SES light will flash to indicate the stored code(s). +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ | | | | | | B | A | | | +---+---+---+---+---+---+ | | | | | | | | | | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+  SignatureRegards, Doug Miller (alphageek at milmac dot com) It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again. > I have a 95 SL1 with 146,000 miles on it.

I had the same symptoms with a battery that seemed fine, i.e., the car started with no problem, but the electronics thought otherwise. With a new battery all the problems ceased.

Your 96 can be read for free at AUTOZONE. And hell you haven't replaced the fuel filter in 7 years either? Geez... >> I have a 95 SL1 with 146,000 miles on it.
