93 SL-1 oil burning help by
Chris
I have a 93 SL-1 with about 150k miles that burns about a quart of oil for
each tank of gas. Other than that the car runs great. Is there anything that
can be done to minimize oil usage short of a rebuild? I've been told that
additives only make things worse. What about a heavier oil?
Thanks,
Chris

93 SL2 electrical problems: NOW it gets WIERD by
J.B. Bobbitt
Per previous post, I've been having some intermittant electrical problems.
In short: it starts and runs well most of the time. Sometimes after it
starts, the lights dim, the gauges quit, and the aftermarket CD player/radio
turns on repeatedly. Once you shut the key off after that, the...

96 SL2 Post-repair problem by
Fantine
I have a 96 SL2 that drives fine and has had very few problems over the
years. Got SES light, brought it in to a local and (supposedly) reputable
repair shop. Ended up having to replace the valve gasket cover. While the
car was there, so we decided to get some maintenance done because the car...

Replacing Tie Rod Ends Replacment question by
rodod
I'm going to replace the tie rod ends myself and possibly the balljoints.
I've done it on a ford but I've never done it on a Saturn.
Is there anything to watch out for?

6th Planet - good experience by
Barry Schnoor
I just had Joey ship a low mileage engine to my sister for her '96 SL2.
Saved them about $700 compared to what the shop wanted to pull one from a
junk yard and install it.
They were a *little* slow shipping the engine, but I just got word from my
brother-in-law that the engine has been installed...

pulsing brakes by
Oppie
I had Saturn do a front brake job on my '01 lw300 about a month ago.
They were supposed to change the pads and turn the front rotors.
Was all good when I picked it up and stopped nicely. But over the last few
weeks there has been an increasing pulsation on stopping. Tried pulling the
E-brake...

Help with vacuum harness replacement on 95 SC1 (SOHC) by
Mike
Hi,
I have a 95 SC1 (SOHC) with a severed line on the vacuum harness.
It's the line that goes to the throttle idle control, so I get wild
throttle behavior at idle.
On this engine, there is one other line for this harness that is used
for the EVAP vapor canister (correct me if I'm wrong here). ...

'95 Saturn SC2 with codes 19, 26 and 32 by

Hello all,
My daughter just dropped off her '95 SC2 for me to fix up and I have a
couple of questions. I flashed the codes and got 19, 26 & 32. From what
info I've found in past posts, 26 & 32 are probably both pointing to
the problems in my EGR or Canister solinoids. I'm about to go...

Thanks to the Group! - problem solved by
Larry
My '96 SL has about 120K on it, and has been running good. I am
cheap, and haven't spent much on this car. I do my own oil changes,
and have never taken the car to the dealer for service except for
stuff I couldn't figure out myself, the A/C had a $400 problem (fan) a
couple of years ago, and the...
