2001 saturn sl1 1.9 single cam, removed belt and still have the noise, bothers me due to the noise sometimes. but no always. has 131,000 miles
Your hearing lifter noise common in most cars in cold weather I have a 2001 sc1 same engine as yours here's how to get rid of that ticking sound go buy a quart of Lucas synthetic motor treatment change your oil and leave it 1 quart low add the Lucas synthetic oil stabilizer within 1 week you will not hear the noise agian reason your hearing the noise is there's no oil at the top of the engine on a cold start oil when cold is thicker hints why your noise in your engine what Lucas does is eliminate the dry start by the way my engine has 288,000 and does not use a drop of oil after you use this product you should use it every oil change you will see your car will thank you regards Chris

Blair, I would take a look at he TPS (throttle position sensor) located on the throttle body. In other words, it sounds as thought sensor when heated is changing its value to "open" or "shorted".
If the car starts OK when cold, use a hair dryer to heat the TPS when the engine is cold to see if you can duplicate the problem.
Also is the a service engine light on? Codes?
If you have a "digital volt/ohm meter" available you can read the variable resistance of the sensor when the problem occurrs to determine if the sensor is defective.
SOURCE: 2003 Saturn, DOHC V6, burning smell in interior after car warms.
if the smell only comes on when the heater is on try pulling the blower motor mice like to build nests in the blower motor housing.

Drain the oil.Then Put engine flush in and leave the car run until normall temp is reached.Then drain and add new oil.Only use recommended oil for that Motor.Sounds like you have a oil blockage.wurth trying.
