Top 20 2001 Saturn S-Series Questions & Answers

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. http://www.diy-gm-security.com/

Sounds like a Tps issue (throttle position sensor). It's thinking it's closed throttle when it isn't.

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.

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!

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

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

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

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

rather than by-passing the immobiliser why not get it fixed and protect your car from theft.

I had a Mazda 626 that was leaking water/antifreeze from behind the console/dash onto the floor. I never fixed the issue which was a small radiator/ heater coil that Mazda put in the worst place possible to try and fix under the dash. My guess would be that it is the heater coil/radiator which gives you your inside heat when the car is up to temperature, so you can turn on your fan and get heat. It could be something as simple as a loose hose clamp. I just let mine drip until I got rid of the car at 300,000 miles. If the water is sticky, then it's from your cooling system which is tied in with your cars heating system.

If it's the ignition module you're talking about, it's located underneath your ignition coils. The easiest thing to do to be sure, and not take my word for it, is to go down to O'reilly's or any other auto parts store, and buy a shop manual for your car. I don't do any troubleshooting without having a shop manual handy.

Google the codes you get & see what systemhas a malfunctionNothing new there,we have had dash lights & codesfor over 30 years,always start there,then diagnose them

on filler tub about 6 inch's down from the gas cap

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.

It can be faulty wiper motor or blown wiper control fuse.

Do you hear any kind of noise when you starter the wiper function. If yes then fuse is ok, but issue is wiper motor.

If no movement at all and no noise then its blown fuse or shorted/loose wiper control wiring:-----

For complete troubleshooting i suggest you few helpful links with accurate solutions.
