Ignition switch 1991 sl2

search for air leak

The starter/solenoid is going bad, (flat spots) will need to replace, hopefully under warranty...please don't get stranded...last resort if stranded...tap starter with hammer, and try to start again...

check that the fan belt is in good condition and tensioned properly. I am suspecting that there will not be much there.

remove steering wheel and when you get to the ignition switch there is a small pin slide out and pull ignition switch that's how I did it in my Chevy
the auto parts store have a special wrench you need to remove the clip in the column find a store with loaners so you don't have to buy one

The SL2 is a DOHC, the SL1 is a SOHC. You have put more money into it already than it is worth. Seems like a free check of the crankshaft being locked up might have been a first move before expending money. There were several small improvements made to the Saturn after 91, the fist year. I would suggest looking around for a 95 where your new parts will still swap in, possibly even a 96. You can get one for less than $500 if you look around. Stay away from automatic transmissions in Saturns.

a dealer can locate one for overnight delivery

sounds like someone might have "rolled" the mileage back and srewed all that up taking the instrument panel out. Possible seen it before.

i would try calling an auto parts store a lots times they will sale ignition switch ,,,good luck ,,,joe

replace te ignition module, that is the most common problem.

Traction control helps limit tire slip in acceleration on slippery surfaces. In the past you had to feather the gas pedal to prevent the drive wheels from spinning wildly on slippery pavement. Many of today's vehicles employ electronic controls to limit power delivery for the driver, eliminating wheel slip and helping the driver accelerate under control. Don't turn it off.
