Saturn 1997 SL1, step on gas after a stop sign , the car wouldn't go ... then Air Bag light came "ON", followed by Fuel Light , and final dies ...

u should check the specs on the coolant sensor & ck for vacuum leaks. When u step on the "gas" u are really controlling the air intake, the fuel injection is controlling the fuel. A bad coolant sensor or vac leak will give u these problems also. ck emissions when running. Good luck

it is not really hard but make sure the ignition switch and security system will still work if you relplace it, if it has a security light in the dash when you open the door, it is harder, if it doesn't then you can do it...
remove all bottom plastic panels, all wiring connections, disconnect the yoke on the engine side of the compartment on the bottom, there are two or 4 big screws holding the column up, loosen them from the bottom, and follow steps, make sure battery is disconnected and air bag fuse is removed...this is just a general instruction.

its better to find out where does the smell from, did you clean your a/c system by gasoline?

I would guess it's fuel injectos are dirty. I like the Chevron Techron Fuel System cleaner - worked great in my 1999 SL2.

need scanner to clear light

make sure air bag is plug ed in. if it is then you broke the clock spring .it will have to be replaced to turn light out . air bag will not work until problem is fixed .

if there is no heat coming from the vents i would bleed the coolant system for air, usually trapped air in the system will cause this lack of heat.

CHECK THE COILS, WE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM SPENT MONEY ON NEW STARTER, BATT, ETC. .....GOOD LUCK

I had an issue like that change fuel pump , fuel filter , checked grounds after all the headache i found a problem in the ECU it had one broken wire which i soldered back in place and the car was good as new

any check engine codes.a bad o2 densor can cause this, prm running high? could be the intake gasket leaking or a faulty tp
sensor...
