20 Most Recent 1996 Saturn Lw 4dr Wagon Questions & Answers

I suggest you try one of those instant download manuals. My nephew bought one for me when my car broke and we could fix it all by ourselves with the manual costing $10. This website reliable-store.com is very good for this. ?Try it.

Most likely the latch itself went bad. You can disconect it at the connector and have someone work the latch, while you check it with a 12 volt tester to see if the power is coming back to the latch. If it is, the latch will need to be replaced.

This may or may not be related, but....I just spent numerous hours on my daughters 1999 SC1 for it was "arming" the security system, and wouldn't start. This was irratic and would come and go. Today I discovered that moving around the wiring that goes to the center console fuse block would make the interior light go on and off. I was losing power to four fuses, one being the "chime" fuse. I had to remove the console, all of the fuses and relays to get the fuse block out and apart. It's like layers. The final result was a power wire connection that was opened up and loose on the terminal that feeds the fuses. You could see a little melted plastic around the connection. I think this may be a problem for saturns. I just tightened the connection, cleaned it and off we go. Hope this may help.

yes. starters do weird things when they are failing,especialy between hot and cold...

clutch plates need replacing

If it has the 4 cylinder (2.2L) engine, it has a timing chain. If it has the V6 (3.0L) engine, it has a timing belt. The timing chain or belt is located under the timing cover at the 'front' of the engine -- the end of the engine where the serpentine belt is located.

in front of thr battery on a bracket, 2 plugs attach to it.

P0113 - Intake Air Temperature Circuit High Input
The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the temperature of the air entering the engine. The PCM supplies a 5 volt reference voltage to the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor. The IAT is a thermistor that varies resistance based on temperature. As the temperature increases, resistance decreases. Low temperature results in a high signal voltage. When the PCM sees a signal voltage higher than 5 volts, it sets this P0113 check engine light code.

Potential Symptoms: There will likely be no symptoms other than illumination of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL - Check Engine Light / Service Engine Soon).

Causes: A code P0113 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
Internally failed IAT sensor
Faulty connection at IAT sensor
Open in IAT ground circuit or signal circuit
Short to voltage in IAT signal circuit or reference circuit
IAT harness and/or wiring routed too close to high-voltage wiring (e.g. alternator, spark plug cables, etc.)
Faulty PCM (less likely but not impossible)

Possible Solutions:
First, if you have access to a scan tool, is there an IAT reading? If the IAT reading is logical then the problem is likely intermittent. If the reading is less than -30 degrees, unplug the connector. Install a jumper wire between the harness connector signal and ground circuits. The IAT temperature reading on the scan tool should be maxed out at the high end. For example it should be 280 degrees Farenheit or higher. If it is, the wiring is okay, and it may have been the connection. If it isn't install the jumper wire between the IAT signal circuit and the chassis ground.

If now the IAT reading on the scan tool is maxed out then check for an open in the IAT ground circuit. If you get no reading at all on the scan tool, it's likely that the sensor signal is open or the 5 volt reference is missing. Check using a DVOM (digital volt ohm meter) for a 5 volt reference. If it's there, then unplug the connector at the PCM and check for continuity on the IAT signal circuit between the PCM connector and the IAT connector.

Hope this helps (remember to rate this answer).

TO REMOVE SPARK PLUGS.YOU NEED A LONG 6 INCH PLUGS SOCKET OR USE A LONG 3/8 INCH EXTENSION ON SPARK PLUG SOCKET NOW YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO REMOVE SPARK PLUGS.

It may be something that only happens when the cars is driven for a while. They need to test drive the car and try to duplicate the conditions when the revving took place, such as what speed were you driving at the time, were you accelerating or cruising at a steady speed, was the cruise control in use. I'll try to research the problem to see if it is a common occurrence with your vehicle model.
