remove battery (must do ( safety first ) ) then remove air bag then remove wheel then remove clock spring then remove headlight and wiper switch rev to install
This is a very common problem on GM vehicles. The security system is known to fail. Basically when you insert your key, the system checks for certain OHMS resistance. If the system cannot get the correct signal from the key, it assumes the key is incorrect and goes into SECURITY lockout mode. (prevents hotwiring) This has been happening with GM;s for a very long time. There are ways to bypass this now. Read through this page for info, solutions as well.

Frame bolts, I run to around 120 +or -. Ball and tierod, around 75( do not loosen, keep tightening them to get to cotter pin in). the sway bar link, I run it down till the rudder is between 1/2 and 3/4 inch thick.
Depends on shop rate. But looking at about 4 hours labor plus parts. So I would guess around $300 to $500. I'm guessing you have the 4 cylinder. So it could be more as it is old and parts break removing them. Like the rusty water jacket that runs under the engine.
Make sure your battery is fully charged and check all battery cables . Make sure the connections are clean and tight.if the starter clicks the starter solenoid switch could be at fault. Could be a bad starter its self. If its internal your ring gear in the engine could have teeth missing causing the starter to just spin.
These are just ideas.

there are several likely reasons -
Poor/no flow of heated coolant through heater core (heat exchanger - mini radiator in cabin) this could be due to closed valve or blockage in pipe of core.
No air flow - bad blower, blend door problem
Hopefully it won't come down to a core replacement!
That's impossible ..... Are you sure the number 1 cylinder is at top dead center should be first one on passenger side of car....and I'm not 100% sure but if timing was off that much you may have bent valves
hey bud let's see here there shouldn't be a single post with a 10 mm nut on it somewhere on the relay junction box on that post will be two red cables the size of a pencil one goes to either the starter or alternator not sure what color that one is but you'll see where it goes the other is short and red goes directly to the positive terminal of the battery
Im assuming the car does start
If not and there is no power at the engine compartment power distribution box then the fuse link near the starter is vliwn power travels from the battery to the starter to the alternator to the power distribution box that is if your saturn is an sl2
To check your automatic transmission fluid, look for a dipstick handle sticking out of your transmission. This is located toward the rear of an in-line engine on vehicles with rear-wheel drive as shown here:
If your vehicle has front-wheel drive, the transmission fluid dipstick is sticking out of the transaxle, as shown here.
To check your automatic transmission fluid, follow these steps:
Pull out the dipstick.
With the gearshift in Neutral or Park and the parking brake on, let your engine run. Be sure the engine is warm when you pull out the dipstick. (Don't turn off the engine.)
Check the fluid.
Dip the tip of your index finger into the fluid on the dipstick and rub the fluid between your finger and the tip of your thumb. The transmission fluid on the dipstick should be pinkish and almost clear. If it looks or smells burnt or has particles in it, have a mechanic drain and change the fluid.
Wipe the dipstick with a clean, lint-free rag; then reinsert it and pull it out again.
If the transmission fluid is clear but doesn't reach the "Full" line on the dipstick, use a funnel to pour just enough transmission fluid down the dipstick tube to reach the line. Don't overfill!
check your fuellines and check if the fuel is coming to the injectors off the car.you can easely see this by taking off a fuelline and try to start.most probably its the fuelpump or the prefuelpump that is broken on top of the fuelfilter
THE STARTER ITSELF IS PROBABLY THE ERRATTIC TROUBLE MAKER.YOU NEED A TEST LIGHT ON THE STARTER CONTACT TO VERIFY YOUR GETTING IGNITION SIGNAL TO THE STARTER.CHECK WHEN ITS NOT STARTING IF YOU DIDNT REPLACE IT ALREADY.
If your vehicle has front-wheel drive, the transmission fluid dipstick is sticking out of the transaxle, as shown here.
