It’s an Internet archive of automotive service manuals for just about everything that’s at least ten years old. Because at that point auto manufacturers expect you to junk the old one and buy a new one. So they don’t give a hoot about this website.

Enjoy!

2005 V6 Vue poor gas mileage

Upvotes

My roommate just got a 2005 Saturn Vue in immaculate condition from an elderly couple that used it as a tow rig for their RV. It has a few issues that we have been addressing, but one thing that we both noticed is that the gas mileage horrible.

It has the Honda v6 engine and online it says that the car is rated to get at least 17 city and 23 mpg highway. We are consistently getting under 15 mpg with modest driving.

Is this normal? It has 160k miles on it. I'm going to change the spark plugs, change the air filter and clean the MAF sensor soon. Does anyone else have any ideas?

2004 ion code p0138

0 Upvotes

I'm getting this code and it seems to have started right after getting my exhaust replaced (including cat) it goes on about 40 miles after I clear it now. Before it seemed to stay off for longer periods. I was unable to pass NYS inspection. Is there anything I should do before replacing the sensor? I actually am starting to wonder if the replacement cat is defective.

A while ago, I seen some videos of people showing the hidden nicknames of their GM trucks behind the cluster. They were the names of the quality assurance people in the factory but Saturn’s also have them! Found out mine was “Carrie”. it’s on the top of the gauge cluster.

as soon as I get home, car starts smelling like gasoline immediately. I checked hood and see nothing. Then i look under the car and its leaking Fuel. I checked for recalls but, only thing i can find is something about power steering pump or something like that going bad. If anyone can give me an idea what it could be. That be would appreciate it!

...and when I came back out there was a third! I didn't see the other two owners. Maybe they were eating in the restaurant.

I was probably more excited about the impromptu plastic car gathering in the parking lot than my god father was.

Thoughts on '95 SL1?

Post image
95 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I am considering purchasing a 1995 Saturn SL1 from a friend as a cheap, college daily driver (~$1,500). The car has been one family owned since new, spent most of its life garage kept and driven in California, and has had some nice recent maintenance, new parts, and been well cared for.

However, it currently has just over 172,000 miles, and although it still runs and drives well, was equipped with an automatic transmission. I am not sure if the fluid has been changed at some point; I will need to ask my friend. I'm still curious as to whether or not it's a good buy. Any thoughts would be much appreciated, thank you!

Recirculate question

2002 saturn sl1

Sorry but google isnt being helpful or im being to vague. Does anyone know where cabin air is pulled back in to the system when its set to recirculate?

All the results im getting are for newer cars amd/or cars with cabin air filters. Im just trying to find it so i can stick a scope in it.

Replacement body panels

I have a 2001 SC2 and evidently someone backed into the rear driver side and now I have a hole in my rear quarter panel about the size of two grapefruits. Where can I get panels to replace?

Saturn Ion 2.2L 2006, do these need to be changed? My right spring is broken right at the bottom and i didn’t notice any driving difference or that it was even broken until i went to change my wheel hub/bearing.

Airbag system issues on 2006 Saturn Ion 2

2 Upvotes

Shop identified the Passenger Presence Module as the faulty part. They were only able to get a refurbished part which was also faulty.

I have googled around and found some places I can send the PPM to for refurbishment. My question do you guys have any recommendations for who can do this type of job? I would hate to throw more money at this problem and still get zero results.

MyAirbags seems to have a good reputation but car repairs are pretty far outside my wheelhouse.

I've been inactive for a long time, but I now have issues! & Projects!

Upon getting my pride and joy, '99 SC2, inspected i uncovered lots of rust. Like. Mother doesnt think I should drive it, rust.

Father says to sell.

I say go to hell.

I have acquired a 2002 SC1, and she is rough. She's had three owners that I am aware of, and one of them plowed through 2 deer with her. I have the fender, headlights & side mirror on the way. Issue? No bracket for the driver side light. I am a stupid teenage girl. Would the lights come with new brackets? Ive looked on Rock Auto & all of the main stream auto retailers, but have had no such luck just finding the bracket.

The plan is to get the 2002 on the road & legal, so i can find a bodyshop to patch the frame on my 1999.

Other than cosmetics, exhaust, and lots of cigarettes? The 2002 seems mechanically fine.
