![]() Eh, it's a good excuse to get out of other work. "Sorry, honey, can't do the lawn today - gotta work on the car. The flux capacitor isn't fluxing like it should..."

![]() This is a fantastic wealth of information. I'm looking forward to owning one of these SL2s, and hoping I get a good specimen!
I do have a question on the "reverse slam" that I have read a lot about. Is it more prevalent when the engine/transmission are cold, good and hot, or just all the time? I'm going to take a look at a 2001 with 159000 miles on it that, by the pictures anyway, looks in real good shape and they claim well maintained. Thank you for sharing this!

2001 SL2
|
![]() Hey everyone, I'm a new member and can't seem to figure out how to make my own post, so I was hoping someone could help answer some of these mystery's... I have 2001 SL2 Saturn and it has 258*** with a manual trans and I have extremely high RPM's at 55... Just changed plugs and wires. Cleaned injectors. It made a difference for about a week, but it went back to running like poo. I went from 400+ miles on a full tank and I'm down to 250 if I'm lucky. Check Engine Light is on. code that comes up is EGR. I was told that the EGR would not be causing the RPM problem.

1999 SL2
|
![]() Good day/evening to all:
I just purchased a 1999 Saturn SL2 with 126000 for $800 to save some miles/gas on my daily driver. I've been looking at this thread in anticipation of purchasing the vehicle and noticed that I am having some of the issues mentioned, including: 1) ECTS - I have the service record that says the thermostat was changed (and possibly the ECTS as well) but my coolant level is just sitting at the quarter mark after driving it (as shown in the picture provided on the first page). Any tips or advice before I go changing both? 2) Two engine codes - P0133 "O2 Slow Response Bank 1 Sensor 1" and P0404 "EGR Range/Performance." Any way these could be related? Found the youtube video that shows the cleaning which I am prepared to do on a warmer day (it is getting pretty cold here in NJ). 3) Needs a new headliner. Any websites anyone can recommend for OEM or like replacement? 4) Rust is present on the passenger back door right where you step into the car. Anything anyone can recommend to prevent further rust +treating existing rust would be greatly appreciated. Other than that engine and trans are good. No visible leaks. I'm excited to learn more and help others too with my experiences. Sorry if I am posting in the wrong spot or hijacking a thread. All apologies and have a good one to all! And a big thank you to all who have helped so far and to all with further guidance to give! ... Current: 1999 Saturn SL2 1.9 "Sophia Loren 2" 2008 Honda Accord EX-L 2.4 1993 Chevy Camaro Z28 5.7 Previous: 2007 Chevy Malibu LS 2.2 2003 Nissan Altima SE 3.5
