Re: Taking a break from Saturn
I'm not against owning one again in the future. I've always liked how easy they are to work on, and how inexpensive the parts are. It was just time for a change right now, to bigger and better things...

Taking a break from Saturn
Well, the time came to make a change. We sold our 2000 SL2 recently and purchased a slightly newer import. The Saturn started to have little annoying issues. There was also the low fuel economy thing...

About 40 - 55 degrees on these cars is probably normal
All the ones we've owned have had good working A/C. On a hot day at the vents they've read about 55 at idle, 50 during stop and go traffic,...

Re: Poor gas mileage. What else to check
Compression test results, done with the Injector fuse and plugs removed, engine warm, and throttle open. Did not do a wet test. I also only let the engine turn about 5 times, but I think cranking it...

Re: Poor gas mileage. What else to check

Re: Poor gas mileage. What else to check
Can anyone verify if the readings from the second O2 are normal? From what I've been reading, and connecting the scanner to another car, the second O2 sensor should barely be changing, or should be...

Re: Mileage Down To 23 MPG from 36 MPG!!!
I'm also trying to figure out a low MPG issue. Will replace the fuel filter, then possibly a compression test if there's no improvement. What has be baffled is that the engine still runs strong with...

Re: Poor gas mileage. What else to check
Thanks. The plugs are NGK, tire pressures and PCV valve are ok, EGR valve and coil towers are clean. Tomorrow I'll change the fuel filter, put in some FI cleaner, and do a compression test.

Re: Horn question
Noticed today the horn is working intermittently. The relay clicks all the time, but the horn only goes off sometimes. Guess I'll buy a cheap used horn and see if that fixes it.
