Check / replace the crank/ cam positions sensor and check the wiring/maf sensor
simply resetting with fixing will not fix the fault

SOURCE: p2431 saturn ion

Why would you change fuel injectors?


Mail them away to be ultra sonic cleaned & tested only,
expensive proposition that was!

The MAP Sensor failed a test also?

I googled the P2431 & seems like a Secondary Air Injection
System Pressure Sensor ,hopefully that will get you close

Google it-- not easy to find some of those codes

Codes come back because you haven't found the fault
that set the code.

You working on things from yester year --not todays techology

2006 Saturn Ion I have one that won't crank or start. I put it on an OBD2 and it gave 2 codes 1 something about the turbo sensor and 2 something of the coil sensor or something strange.

Jeff Armer up above in that Additional Information box is our Professional Automotive Technician and will be able to solve your issue.

But just to explain, the OBD2 Codes are the key, 'something about' doesn't cut it. The codes are of the form 'P' and 4 numbers. The codes tell you the EXACT fault and from there you find the solution.

Here is a list of codes

in the fuse box there is a flasher relay change that out also if you have set off the stock alarm on the car it may not be shut off all the way I would try disconnecting the battery and resetting the computer and check all the fuses to make sure one isn't bunt out

I have a 2006 saturn ion-2 the battery keeps dying and wont stay charged. Whats going on with it?

If the battery is new, and you are sure it is ok, either the alternator is not charging the battery or there is something in the car that is using power when the key is off.
You could disconnect the battery at night to see if it stays charged, and-or have the alternator output checked.

Engine light came on. Car has 53000 miles. No noticeable prob when driving. What could light mean?

Could mean anything from a loose gas cap to a major engine problem, Go to your local auto parts store and get a free diagnostic scan and post back the code if it is not explained when tested.

My saturn Ion 2006 will cut off while i am drinving it. It will restart after about 20 minutes but will die in about 15 seconds. The used to run for about 20 minutes between the times it would die but not...

first thing to do is check for codes. this will give you a direction to begin diagnostics . most probable causes are, cranks sensor, ignition module or fuel pump. if you have a tach on the dash and you see rpm during cranking i would eliminate the possibility of a failed crank sensor, if no rpm signal go right to the crank sensor. next check for fuel pressure, 40psi is going to be within specs to allow it to run.
