I have a 95SL and now it will not start. One day I went on an errand and went inside to handle my buisness when I came out to start my gar it would not start it would sound as if it would start but it would not. After having it towed home my dad tryed starting it and no sounds would happen. We replaced the battery and still no change. I have had problems since I bought this car. I have had the engine replaced, a new transmission installed, a new radiator installed, a new altenator installed, also had to have a new pully installed because one broke. Along with those problems I have had to deal with the driver's side window not working and the radio go out after I bought a new one. I would be happy to all suggestions on this matter since this car has been the center of all the issues that my father and myself have had over the past five years. I have just spent so mush money on this car and it is heartbreaking to me that I now feel as though domestic cars are not good quality and my father is hurt when I told him this since he works for an American car company. Also if anyone could help me locate a good mechanic in the eastern Atlanta, Ga. area that is good with Saturns this would be most helpful as well.

Oh yeah all American cars are bad, all Saturns are bad, all of America turns out crap blah blah blah whine whine whine. Come back with better user name and a better attitude if you want help. From what I've read I'm hardly willing to lay blame on Saturn. I say someone did a lousy job of diagnosing and then done a lousy job of installing stuff that wasnt needed and additional stuff got broken and stressed.
perhaps it's the timing belt or chain?
Yeah, but the EPA would burn you on a cross for it.
Cars today all pretty much use speed density, AFAIK. just really conditioning the sensors inputs and all. hell, they've got it for automagic transm issions, though they all suck as far as i can tell. I'll roll my own tranny controller...
I'm not surprised. Given a certain three letter agency
*cough*EPA*cough* wants everyone to think that the car's 'computer is somehow magic and that if your 'check engine' light pops on, you're risking killing yourself if you don't drive immediately (at 15mph) to the nearest dealer...It's bad enough that the local DMV now sends brochures with your registration renewal explaining that the check engine light doesn't mean your car's about to explode...
What's doubly annoying is the 'guilty unless repeattedly proven innocent at your expense' attitude of the EPA/state DMVs. I can't think of ANY other situation in the US where you're required to prove you're NOT creating a problem, over and over again, at your expense...
Or in the interests of obfuscation and allowing carowners to know WTF is going on with their cars. Guess who else wants it to stay that way....
Care to make a contribution to my pre-emptory defense fund? I wasn't kidding about this. It's just a logistics issue with me. Let the EPA burn me on their frigging cross. My feeling is that they help to protect the monopolies of big business. F that! OK, in all honesty I had a double scotch rocks about 1/2 hour ago and am feeling no pain...
