Ls1 Saturn 2001 ignition won’t engage after turning the car off

[Alex707]

HELLO IM ALEX
I OWN A 2001 SATURN LS1 ECONOMIC AUTOMATIC
30,000. MILES
THE CAR ONLY COST ME A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS
IT GOT A TUNE UP AND NEW TIRES


THE CAR WILL START ONCE A DAY...

IT WILL RUN FINE AND SAVES ME GAS

ONCE THE CAR IS TURNED OFF THE F**k IT WONT TURN BACK ON

I WAS TOLD THAT THE KEY IS BAD BECAUSE ITS NOT THE ORIGINAL

I CHECKED THE IGNITION CONTOL MODULE BUT IT STARTED DOING THE SAME




NOT SURE WHATS GOING ON WITH MY SATURN
I MIGHT HAVE TO TAKE IT INTO THE DEALER SHIP.

Welcome to SaturnFans, Alex! Thank you for adding your vehicle information beneath the login name. At present it shows that you have a 2001 SL1. However, your message says you have a 2001 LS1. First of all, the LS1 model name existed only for model year 2000. From 2001 onwards the model designation changed to L100, or L200, or L300 for sedans.

Please correct the information. Is the car an S-Series (1.9L), or L-Series vehicle (2.2L four cylinder, or 3.0L V-6)? BTW, "ECONOMIC" was not part of any formal Saturn vehicle or engine description. What are your referring to?

Sl1

Sl1

It’s the sl1

I just went out to start the car and it turned on
I turned it off

I turned it on fired up

I turned it off

Third time it fires up, the car started
Then I turn the car off

I turned the key but the car didn’t even crank the starter.

You might be better served by reposting in the S-series Tech forums as your problem isn't going to be answered quickly......... where more members with the same model as yours may contribute help.
