- I'm hoping someone here can give some advice on this one -- my '94
SL2 has a PS pump that is going out; from the looks of things the
pulley can be completely bypassed without affecting the belt
tensioner? I do have AC.  Can anyone who has tried this tell me what

(sorry, no jelly)
After cleanup, I noticed that the beautiful Midnight Blue ION.3 I just
purchased, the last like it on the lot had some pine tree sap marks on the
paint. The shop sent it out to be buffed, but they couldn't get all the

My 1993 Saturn SL1 starts up fine when the engine is cold (like in the
morning) but stalls during the day after the car has been running and the
engine is hot. And then the car will not start.  It turns over but the
engine does not seem to be getting gas. The "check engine" light is ...

The Starter was getting a bit intermittent on my '01 LW300. It has 100K
miles on it was worth replacing the entire starter. Carquest had a rebuilt
for $155 (wholesale) with $55 core charge.
The Saturn shop manual did not allude to anything particularly difficult.

Well here we go again, Saturn number 3. Yesterday 0% financing came out and
I traded in the 'ol SC2 for a new '07 ION.3 2.2L in Midnight Blue color w/
grey interior and 16" alloys. Went with stick this time. I kinda suck at
stick, but practice makes perfect. There is a notable ...

I am in the North Bronx.
I am looking for any local mechanics or someone who
knows how to replace a water pump on a 1997 Saturn  SL1.
I also have the top of the line OBD II auto scanner - reader and if anyone

Lately, my 'o2 trunk has gotten to sound like a creaky old haunted house
door when opening or closing. Obvoiusly it needs lubrication, but where and
what should I use?

The saga continues...taking my '02 SC2 back to the garage 1st thing in the
morn. Last week, I had it in and they thought they sealed up a seam where it
was leaking. The leak is evidently coming from up by the underside of the
cowl vent or nearby up high above the heater motor, ...

This year's coverage of the Saturn Performance Club's 2007 Rally has been
posted on my site.  It was held in mid-May and was the club's tenth annual.
Instead of raving about it here, I'll let the photos tell the story.  You'll
find 10 new pages and 89 photos & video clips here:

I suppose my '01 SL with 30k/miles is due for a coolant flush'n'fill
although the reservior is at normal level.
Valvoline center has a $40 special but 3 blocks away Midas wants $110.
WTF?

Tried this week,& no dice!,guess Saturn is STILL a different car
company.

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 ...

here in Honolulu, @ the saturn dealer.......
I'm thinking i've been cheated,  granted i agreed to pay the $130 to
have saturn diagnose that i had an ignition switch code
and then they apply the $130 towards the $500 repair,  however why

I drive a 1996 Saturn SL2. About 2 months after purchasing the car,
the battery light came on. As most would think, I took this to be a
problem with the charging system. Using a voltmeter, I checked the
voltage on the battery. 12 when off, around 13.5 when running warm.

It is summer, and my car is overheating :(  Just the other day I
noticed that fluid was comming out of the cap.  I checked it, and it
seems it is broken.  I looked into the resevoir and some broken pieces
and a spring are laying in the bottom.  Okay so I know that has to be
