Engine shut off in the middle of the freeway, completely lost power.

I was driving my 03 Saturn Vue going 65 on the freeway when it suddenly shut off and lost all power. It will turn over but won`t start now.

If you are below 100 psi then you have a major leak inside the transmission. These will read upwards of 700 psi and require a special gauge to check line pressure. As far as fixing this there are limited parts available for this transmission and a replacement unit is big bucks. Take the car to your saturn dealer and see what they will do. These have a 5 year 75,000 miles warranty for the transmission, and most of them are covering up to and past 100,000 miles for customer satisfaction. If you dont know much or anything about this transmission do not attempt to repair it. Let the trained professional tech at saturn take care of this.

Yup. The throttle body connectors have a history of failing on these cars. Replace the throttle body and the wire connectors that go to it, and you're back in business. Not terribly difficult and you can get the parts from any dealer. Saturn actually has a bulletin out on this problem but they won't cover it unless you're under warranty - no recall for this.

A2002 saturn vue shut off going 65 mph on hiway engine turns over but want crank

Hi Wayne:
2 possible problems.....
- No spark
- No fuel.
I'd suggest that you pull a plug lead and check for spark. No Spark, chase ignition problem like maybe failed CPS.
If you have spark then it has to be fuel. Injector signal not happening. TPS failure?
Just some ideas.
Hope they help.

My 2005 saturn vue engine shuts off whenever I turn the a/c or heater on. The only time it stays on is when I am on the freeway.

this could be caused by an improperly working idle control motor that can`t control the idle speed or low speed driving condition where on the highway this control is not used as the speed is higher and doesn`t require control.

My 2004 saturn vue will start up then i put on the gas and let go then it dies. Can u help me.

Here is the most common cause of surges and stalls, it is the idle speed control air-bypass valve and throttle valve, they get full of gunk over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.

'03' Vue has trouble starting

Sounds like the fuel pump may be going out. By the way the power steering is electric in Saturn, so it does not require the engine to be running.
