In the middle of each valve cover there are 3 coils. Those are the ignition coils.

You unplug them and unbolt them and pull them out to get at the spark plugs.

The rear ones are hard to get at.

You may have to remove the intake upper plenum to get at the rear plugs.

The plugs last 100K miles so if you are not there yet, you do not have to replace them.

When you do install new plugs,

Spark plug torque 18.0nm (130lb.ft

Spark plug gap 1.0-1.1mm (0.039- 0.043 inch).-----------------

this should help.thanks.Helpmech.

Was it the "Backup Fuse 10Amp" under the hood? I'm having the same problem. Check engine light and low coolant light same time. Also found the backup lights quit working and so did the cruise control. I found the wire harness for the Neutral Safety Switch PRND1L had chaffed on the switch case and caused the fuse to blow. I repaired and insulated the wires & replaced the fuse. All is well.

Hi Amber,it could be this.Here's the part if it's it.When they go out,pressure is not being held causing your problem.

With a new compressor fitted you would have had a refill of gas to the correct amount. Now the ac is working as it should and when the car interior reaches the desired coldness it switches of the compressor clutch and the load on the engine is reduced so the rpm s go up. When the thermostat switches the compressor back on to bring the temp back down again the load makes the engine slow down. Before the compressor was replaced this was not happening as r the compressor was not working at all so the engine rpms was constant.

sometimes you have to push button to obtain 1st position and to push and hold button again for open position , need more info ; manual should be clear on operation,. you can also call saturn sales or service they will usually answer a simple question . if your sunroof was used alot may be mechanical problem , need more info I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gregory_8e6ba270263743ac

Engine light stays on put a new gas cap on but has not gone off?

Any name brand 10w 40 will work.

All the lights work off the same fuse so the problem is the light bulb, you will have to pull the instrument cluster out to gain access to change the burnt out bulb.

The engine light is telling you that the CPU has foundsensor/s outside set parameters during the checking process. Have the fault codes read before wasting time and money guessing what has failed. Replace with genuine items only as aftermarket units are not always compatible with the settings in the CPU. The reduced engine light is telling you the engine is in limp mode to protect the engine.

The ac puts a strain on the engine anyways but if it stalls there must not be enough voltage to run everthing.could be the alternator or weak battery.

There is an idle speed control motor on the side of the car's throttle body that is supposed to keep the idle stable even when additional loads like the AC are on. It's possible the motor may be damaged due to a voltage spike when you had it jumped. It's also possible the AC system may be pulling the engine speed down due to an internal problem with a faulty AC compressor. Did the shop that checked the charging system check to make sure alternator was charging properly with the additional loads of the AC, headlights and blower motor on? It's very possible the system is overloading a weak alternator.

may need a new compressor or a simple tune up (spark plugs and wires)
