On my '95 sw2 the power locks seem to work strangely. Unlocking works fine but when I try to lock them, they lock and then jump right back to unlocked. If I...
Maybe switch out the relays and see what happens. ... ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better...
... Any ideas? check and see if one of the lock switches is sticking. This happens on my dad's '99. Kevin M. Keller '95SC1.5 "Lili" / '97SC2 "Blue" ...
Ok that check is done so it has too be the switch itself, which was referred too already. If you have access too waterborne cleaning solvent it will do a great...
... If the driver's side switch is sticking, it may not be quite far enough to complete the circuit, but once the circuit is energized through the passenger...
Thanks everyone for all the info. Of course when I went to check out the switches this morning they were working properly for the first time in the three...
You may also want to check the idler pulley, NOT the spring loaded tensioner one. Try starting the engine without the belt on to see if the noise goes away...
Hi Guys I guess maybe I could go through the archive for my answer but... I have a 92 Saturn SL with a single cam 1.9L that I just bought for $70 bucks. It...

Did this oily gunk look like chocolate milk? If so the gasket or the head should be the culprit. This isn’t the only possibility since if the trans cooler...
Seeing as you got the vehicle cheap, it sounds like someone knew the head was cracked, that's a common problem on the sohc models. It cracks between a cam...
Problem solved and I learned a couple of things. Thought I'd post them in case they might be of help to others. My very intermittant SES light did not come on...
Secdroid: Great detective work and thanks for the post.? If one of us sees the problem we now know what to do. Sincerely, Gary?Carlson 1995 SL1 ... From:...
pokeymon73 - zosoppp, Thanks for the advice, I had the head pressure checked and machined, it checked out fine. So I went ahead and bought a gasket set....
As I said before I believe that the issue is not a bad head gasket, but the head being cracked on top, allowing oil and coolant to mix. You will probably need...
... Carey This could also be a very likley possibility and i did not think of it at the time since it was a SOHC engine. my mind is mainly on the DOHC engines...
Hmmm, yes it is a bit confusing as the machine shop said the head was good, pressure checked, machined for flatness, BUT I will examine the top of the head...
OK Guys, I wrote in a few weeks or so ago about my 92 Staurn SL1 with a single cam that I bought for $70. The problem was an oily mess in the overflow and...
Carey: To reduce the possibility that it is old gunk getting in your cooling system, how about flushing it with a radiator flush? Also, check with a few...
Is the oil in the crankcase contaminated with water/coolant also? Water in oil will turn the mixture gray. If both are contaminated I'd bet that the head is...
Well guys after a new timing chain, tensioner, wires, plugs, about 100 into the head the engine seems to be bad. I ran it again today, it stalls and worse...
You could always get another engine from a junk yard? salvage part of what you have left from your original engine too use on the newer one. if your in pa...
It sounds like all you really need is a different non-cracked head, you can reuse the new timing kit, and all the other new parts other than the head work that...
