That black plasict box with part number P/N: 136-2268 is a Audiovox car alarm brain. On one side it should have 4 individual connector slots.

technician from Saturn Said he didn't know what the problem is ????? There are no Saturn dealers any more . You better find someother qualified repair shop .

U may have a head or head gasket leaking coolant into the combustion chamber. Check ur coolant level closely and also see if u have a higher than normal pressure. Just a guess here but maybe. Hope it helps. :)

-Why you want to hook up a switch to the fan...? You want to turn it on when you want? -No Problem. Here some basic installation. -Connect the hot wire to the positive (+) battery terminal. -Connect both left over wire to the switch. Then connect 1 wire from the other side of the switch to ground. you should be good to cool down. Good lucj Mai

it sounds like you need a starter and a CPS that sits behind the starter

Sounds like you have a failing transmission to this 35 year repair technician. Have you even run the fault codes with a scan tool?

have you replaced the crank senser

have you inspected and tested your shift solenoids? There's 5 of them and you can access them without going underneath the car. The solenoid housing is under the car battery

bad coil

You may be able to use a 'deep well' socket, but on my 1997 Integra, the socket was too large to fit in the spark plug well (about 1" X 8" deep). I ended up using a penetrant (PB Blaster, etc.) and a 9/16" screw extractor (what looks like a plug in the well is the end of the screw extractor) and reversed a 3/8" extension and locking pliers. Be sure and push down pretty hard on the extension/pliers as you turn it counter-clockwise, until you feel the non-fouler break free. I could probably still reuse the non-fouler, even after using the extractor. When you install these non-foulers (on no more than two cylinders), be sure the metal 'o-ring' is on the fouler, just like it is on the spark plug. Also, I'd suggest using anti-sieze compound (get a dollar's worth pack at the auto parts checkout) on the threads.

Make sure the battery has a full charge and all connections good. Then check your charging system. Right now I'm thinking, check your charging system. Do you have a voltmeter on your dash, what does it do when you step on the brake? It may drop a little, but, it should recover.

it sounds like you have got water in your tank I would change the fuel filter and put 2 little bottles of gas line antfreaze in your tank

What are your going by ? Temperature gauge ? Is the coolant boiling in the engine ? Do the cooling fans run ? did you change the Thermostat , water pump ?
