What should I do in this situation?

>>15568206
Go to an auto parts store, like autozone, oreilys or advance auto. They will pull the code for free, then reaearch the code they give you.

>>15568219
If it's free, I can definitely do that tomorrow.

Personal question, how do you feel about Saturns?

>flywheel was lodged in backwards somehow

What? That doesn't even make sense.

>>15568247
That's what I have been told.

>>15568206
Man up. Get a code reader yourself. I highly recommend torque pro and a bluetooth obd2 adapter (bafx one on amazon) if you have android. Or i suggest getting a cheap standalone code reader.

>>15568308
Whoever told you that had no idea what the fuck they were talking about.

If the car runs and drives, I wouldn't be terribly concerned about the check engine light - CEL codes are usually not indicative of imminent disaster - unless of course you'll require emissions testing soon - CELs auto-fail smog checks. But these guys are right, parts stores will check the codes for free on any car 1996 or later, and will tell you what part you need to fix it.

Of course, they'll be happy to sell you that part...

>>15568372
So, what about the Service Engine Soon light?

>>15568231
Not him but Saturns are good a to b cars. Simple and easy to work on.

>>15568380
They can check that with a code reader too

>>15568380
It's a gm diagnostic light. The Check engine light conforms to the ODB2 standard but google says the ses light is mostly for emissions. You might have a bad o2 sensor or a misfire. Don't throw parts at it once you find out. Diagnose it properly.

>>15568380
Usually some emissions bullshit like o2 sensors.

Unless the previous owner thrashed it and never changed the oil or something.

>>15568407

Ill have to ask the cousin about the sensor. It was one of the last things he worked on before giving the car to me.

>>15568414
no. he might not know what the fuck he's doing. get the codes read and proceed to diagnose by yourself with the help of youtube.

>>15568231
I would deff get them read, could be as simple as somthing becoming unplugged. I dont personally know much about Saturns. My sister has an ION that has been pretty reliable.

Finally a fellow Saturnfag! I got me a 99 Saturn SC1 a few months ago and so far it hasn't giving me too much shit. The only thing I've replaced so far is the TPS due to a high idle, and a fuse for the cigarette lighter so I could use it to charge my phone. I would suggest you buy the repair manual for yours; it was one of the first things I did.

>>15568704
You talking about that Haynes manual? Because I have been thinking about getting it around the time the car was halfway done.

>>15568231
Don't expect anything more than an A to B car. In my experience they're pretty reliable, and they don't rust or don't for obvious reasons. I may be mistaken, but doenst the SC1 of that generation mean it doesn't have the third door? C'mon OP, muh suicide doors

>>15568751
Other than racing, I fail to see another use of a vehicle other than A to B.

>>15568751
don't rust or dent*

>>15568759
My point was more about how people will take a car that's made for getting from A to B and think it's a race car. I can never really see how anyone can think of something like that and Saturn

>>15568735
yeah that's the one

Saturns actually did fairly well in racing. They were competed in SCCA's showroom stock division, and were competitive but didn't dominate. SCCA showroom stock was generally dominated by Dodge Neons and Chevrolet Cavaliers, which had a significant horsepower advantage (The Saturns made 124 HP from a 1.9L DOHC I4, the Neons made 150 HP from a 2.0L DOHC I4, and the Cavaliers made 155 HP from a 2.4L DOHC I4). Saturns were also competed in rally events and American touring car races to decent success, though Saturn's racing program was killed when the Saturn Ion was killed off in 2007.

Saturns are cool. GM killed them because they were too good.
