Saturn (GM) STANDARD OPERATING PROCEEDURE
When we at GM discover an epidemic costly flaw in our cars (like
casting flaws in our cylinder heads that will cause the head to
eventually CRACK); and before we become aware of the problem, tens of

I'm putting new valve stem seals on my 1998 SL1.  Its turning out to
be a lot more difficult than I anticipated.  The first major problem
was removing the crankshaft bolt.  After wrestling with it by hand, I
read about the starter trick. That didn't work either.  Then I found a

I am sick of losers like Mr. Fag and the many other no-life trolls so I am
banning them...WIZARD!!
Here's how. This may vary with your browser of choice but is pretty
consistent with OE and Outlook readers.

First of all sorry about the long  explanation.
I have a 2002 L300 with about 70,000 miles everything worked fine until last
week that I got the following problems.
The car still seams to work fine (engine wise)

It's not quite as bad as the title makes it sound. It doesn't happen
from a dead stop. Instead it usually just happens while I'm driving on
city streets, and it occurrs just when I back off the accelerator just
a little bit. I can feel the car slowing just a little bit, but then

Both of our remote keyfobs for our 2001 Lw200 has ceased to function.
The metal clip holding the battery has broken on both.
Two questions, how compatible are the different keyfobs? I found a seller
on eBay with three fobs that look similar, same buttons, but different

When I drive the car, it makes a clunking noise whenever
the gears shift.  It's automatic.  Then when the engine
warms up a little, there's also a scraping noise. None of
this is bad enough to make the car undriveable, but of

2002 SL1  110,000 km
I bought the car in 2006 at 50 months old ; 65,000 km.
Saturn dealer told me, at my first service visit that the upper motor
mount was worn & needing replacement.

I decided to start this thread anew since the previous one sort of got
hi-jacked.
My local (non-Saturn) mechanic just gave up on this.
My 2000 LS2, with like 260,000 miles, has been acting oddly in the

I have had to have radiator replaced on my 93 SW2 twice in the last 3
years and both times I got my car back with no refrigerant in the A/C.
Does the A/C on this model have to be emptied to replace the radiator
on this model? If so why would refilling it not be included in the

So while coasting in gear, my car, a 99 sl1, starts to kind of feel
like it's misfiring.  if I tap the gas, it will stop, and I can
conitinue to coast, until it does it again in a few more moments.
Someone said that this could be from a faulty Catalytic Converter - is

I just read an article in Popular Science (or Mechanics)  about a
guy that is the champ of wringing mileage out of cars with careful
driving.  I applied some of his techniques for about half of my last
tank and got 41.8 MPG driving back and forth to work.  All city, bad

My A/C Heater blower started working intermittently.  Only the first 3 fan
speeds now work.  When it works the first 3 speeds work well.  I was told it
might be the resistor card so I just completed putting a new one in and the
same problem exist.  Any help would be appreciated.  ...

I have a 2005 Ion-2, standard transmission.  Yesterday I put the key
in, stepped on the clutch and turned the key.  Engine would not turn
over.  The passlock light lit when key turned to 'on' and stayed lit.
After a few tries and some contemplation I stepped on the brake and

My sister has an '02 L.  She says she hears a grinding coming from the
rear.  breakes ar 3 years/30,000 miles old.  What should i look for?
