Hey all,
I've got an '03 Ion and I've noted a bit of a problem.  The passenger

Reading some of the review comments on Edmunds would put anyone off

I have a 95 Saturn SL1, and it died a week ago.  When I turn the ignition
key it doesn't start, but yet all the belts are turning in the engine...it
also makes a high pitched sound like a dentist drill.  The spark plugs

95 SW2, automatic, "alternative fuel" model (burns oil).
The throttle plate was sticking, and opened it up to find lots of black

question -- how did that stuff get there in the first place? Is it

I have a 93 Saturn SL2 which shifts late 2nd-3rd and 3rd-4th.
The engine has to rev way up (3300-3800 rpm) before it shfits.
Shifting 1-2 does not seem to be a problem.  It used to shift at maybe
2500 rpm before.  The transmission is not slipping just shifting later

Thanks

I have an SL2 twin cam 95 with a manual transmission.  One of the plastic

It began this fall, started the car it ran rough and I notice the temp
gauge jumping from cold to normal operating temp. Disconnected the battery
and checked temp and other connections. That stopped the gauge from jumping
around but now I have to spray starting fluid a few times ...

On a ~100-mile drive, the temperature gauge on our 98 SL2 never went
over about 1/8.  The heater seemed to be blowing out plenty of warm air
on us.  Does this sound like a bad thermostat, CTS, or something else?
