Your vehicle is equipped with an OBD II computer AND a link to connect OBD II computer to a Smog Check Analyzer or Data Scan Tool (available
at most auto part stores).There are two types of codes, bad codes and good codes. The good codes are the "Readiness Flags". These Readiness Flags
indicate that certain emissions systems which the OBD II computer has been monitoring have PASSED the test, indicating that those systems are
working properly. Then there are the bad codes. The bad codes are actual "Trouble Code". These codes indicate that the OBD II computer
has detected a problem with in the emissions system. The Trouble Code will specifically indicate the component and problem which was found.
Newer vehicle's have very complex codes in the thousands.
"Readiness Flags" do not cause the "Check Engine" light to illuminate, but may cause a vehicle to fail the smog test.
In order to set all the proper "Readiness Flags" the OBDII system must complete at least one drive cycle (in some cases
two or three). A drive cycle is a sequence of internal tests which the OBDII computer runs while your vehicle is being driven. This insures
all emissions systems are functioning properly. Only then will your vehicle pass the smog inspection. A drive cycle usually requires one
week of driving.

Have a2001 Saturn sw2 lacks power when accelerating and crushing but when you pass half throttle it will go better. I've checked fuel press.it is 50_55psi and at low speed and idle runs great

Are you writing that the engine fail to accelerate under a load? If you are in park and rev the engine, acceleration is normal until you try to drive away? There is no one answer for this issue. Possible causes include: tune up needed, clogged air filter, fuel filter or exhaust, timing, vacuum leak, CKP, CPS, ECT, 02s, TPS, EGR, poor compression, bad ground, faulty ECM. Is there an engine light? Even if there isn't I recommend scanning for codes. Please let me know if there is anything else. Good Luck.

reduced power , electronic throttle control problem . Reduced Engine Power Mode
When the ECM detects a condition with the TAC system, the ECM may enter a reduced engine power mode. Reduced engine power may cause one or more of the following conditions:
• Acceleration limiting--The ECM will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control; however, the vehicle acceleration is limited.
• Limited throttle mode--The ECM will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control; however, the maximum throttle opening is limited.
• Throttle default mode--The ECM will turn off the throttle actuator motor and the throttle will return to the spring loaded default position.
• Forced idle mode--The ECM will perform the following actions:
- Limit engine speed to idle by positioning the throttle position, or by controlling the fuel and spark if the throttle is turned off.
- Ignore the accelerator pedal input.
• Engine shutdown mode--The ECM will disable fuel and de-energize the throttle actuator.

My 2003 Saturn Vue cuts off during acceleration

I am having the same problem with my Saturn Vue 2006. I have been told by a mechanic that the same engine in my vue is used in a Saab vehicle and the Saab vehicle has been recalled for this same problem.
I am very concerned about the safety of driving Saturns with this problem. I have found blog after blog with people reporting the exact same issue in their Saturns.
We need to unite and get GMC to recall these vehicles before someone is killed. Please share this with anyone who has something to add.
Thank you!

I have a saturn sl2 i was driving to the store and whene i camback to home i notice over heating i stop the car and call the tow truck. in the morning i notice the belt was out of place i put it back and...

Hmm... Belt out of position and anti freeze low. Hows your oil? It is possible your engine has seized. Saturns have decent little engines as long as they are kept with in operating temps, and have adequate oil and coolant. When you try to start it, do you hear the starter clicking or whirring?
To determine if the engine has seized , take the accessory belt off and try turning the fly wheel main pulley by hand it should turn . Make sure the wheels are chocked and the car is in neutral. If you need to jack the passenger front side up , be sure to use a jack stand. If the pulley does not move at all... It is a safe bet your engine is now just a hunk of aluminum. I hope it moves. Then it is likely your started burned out. That is a relatively inexpensive fix. And well within the abilities of the average home mechanic. Good luck!

Acceleration is not working

when you press the gas can you hear the engine accelerate if you can then that means it is your transmission if you cant it is your gas cable linkage just snap you can just replace it by removing your engine cover then add a small nut and tie it to the end of your gas linkage strech it in to the plastic arm and you can then use it to take to your mechanic to fix it properly
