I have 01 SC that is reading a code for a bad 02 sensor. My problem is that it won't stay running. I didn't think 02 sensor would keep car from running. Could it be the fuel pump

Traction Control Reflashed?
I purchased a 2007 Saturn Aura XR a month ago that has 60,000 miles on it and in the last 2 weeks the Service Traction light and Service airbag light was on in addition to the Check Engine light. The place that I purchased it from replaced the mass air flow sensor and said I would have to take it to a dealer to have the traction control reflashed. Why would this need to be done and is it costly to do? They have said nothing about the service air bag light.

Saturn stopped shifting into reverse only yesterday
Hey all. Starting to panic a little here. Ive had my 2000 saturn SC1 for nearly 6 years now with no issues what so ever. Around 100k or more on the car. Auto 4 cyl.
Anyways, the cars always driving fine, forward and reverse. No slipping, clunking, ect. No trans issues at all. When I drove to go feed my horses yesterday, it drove fine, but when I was done and got into my car to reverse. It mostly revved and eventually slowly backed up at a high RPM. Drove home fine in all forward gears, shifted fine. No other issues that I saw or noticed.
When shifting to reverse, it does nothing at all. No shift noise at all showing that its actually shifting into it. Might as well be shifting into reverse.
Check engine light had turned on with code p0732 which of course says car wont shift into second gear. (checked at auto zone.) Checked all fluids, oil was low but the trans fluid and everything was at the right lvl. Unplugged the battery for a while to reset the cars electrical but of course, that didnt help. Check engine light came back on and still wont reverse.
Is there a sensor or fuse that would possibly effect that? I find it weird that it would go out all the sudden and only in reverse. Only other thing I can think of worth noting is that several months ago when I went to feed, the car bottomed out and made a brief noise then went right back to work with no issues. Could I have knocked something loose needed to reverse and it only now came off all the way?
Any help would be great. I cant really afford to send it to a shop for a tranny fix. If theres a few things I can check like sensors or inexpensive tries, would love to hear them. I know about 99% of people will tell me that i need a new transmission, Im hoping for some advise from people who can look past that and see if theres any other possible fixes. I cant afford to not be able to feed my horses for even a day of it in the shop. :( Thanks in advance!

1997 sl2 1.9 saturn
Recently i changed my motor, Completed the process. Unfortunately, when i start the vehicle and turn into gear "Reverse" "Drive" "2" "1" it stalls instantaneously. Just replaced motor and transmission fluid/filters brand new, New TPS sensore, Shifter automatic cable used but replaced. Also on the top right of my starter which is located right where the trans/engine meet i have some connector that massively sprays motor oil "Seal missing i'm guessing. Need some guidance and thoughts of what could be the reason for this issue thanks, I did get it to go in reverse for a moment actually backing it up into my driveway but then shut off. "Good battery connection to everything" Ruled out.. Thanks

Saturn SL2 engine misfire problem
I have a high milage 1999 Saturn SL2 which seems to misfire alot after every rain storm or snow fall. The car also is hard starting whenever temps fall below -15 degrees centigrade. I have seen similar problems in other vehicles (1999 subaru legacy and older dodge truck). The old dodge would usually end up needing a porcelin resister module replaced ($2.00 part located on drivers side inside fender-fire wall). What can be causing the problem on this saturn - the problem has been with this car since I owned it for the last 200,000 kms. :?

Headlight selector on Auto, lights on and off when it's dark
I have a 2003 Saturn L 200. In the past month or so, when the light selector is in the "Auto" position and it is dusk or dark outside, the dash lights, tail lights, and front parking lights will start coming on and off. When I put the light selector in the other two positions, everything works properly. When it's daylight out, and the selector is in the "Auto" position, the daylight running lights work as they should. When in "Auto" and the ambient light gets dark enough, the lights switch over, but I have this issue with it seemingly wanting to go back and forth from daytime running configuration to night time. I'm guess it's a bad ambient light sensor, the little sensor that sits on top of the dash. Does anyone else have any ideas? Thanks.

Re: Saturn SL2 overheating now wont start
key on engine off fuel pressure should be 40-55psi. (if the fuel pump and pressure regulator are working normally) Have you checked to see if you have spark for the spark plugs? You should check for injector pulse too. If you have no spark and/or injector pulse check the crank position sensor. They will go out and the computer won't see the engine cranking over.
Coolant temp can also flood the engine if it's is reading the temp wrong. also look at the connector fro corrosion. (green-like rust in the connector terminals-if they are corroded you should replace the connector too)
Is the security light flashing or on? If the security light flashes you may have lost the signal to the passlock module.

Re: fuel problems with saturn 1.9 engine
check your coolant temperature sensor. If the CTS reads cold all the time it will give your engine too much gas when the engine is warm. You need it to be richer with a cold engine but if it still reads cold when the engine is hot you will get too much gas.

2006 Saturn vue problems with rough idle after oil change
Was wondering if anyone could help me resolve a problem that is now occurring after getting an oil/air filter and battery change. Truck ran fine, now it idles rough and when I turn on the air conditioner when parked the rpms are reved a little high and it will shut off if I don't intervene and hit the accelerator. Thanks for your time.
UPDATE: Read alot of posts on forum before this post was approved and read one that had about the same scenario that I had. Someone said to disconnect the negative battery cable for a minute or two and reconnect to let the computer reset. I did try that and when I was putting the battery case/cover back on over the battery I found that the people who did the battery change had pinched one of my vacuum lines in the battery case/cover!!!! I got it unpinched and problem was resolved.. YAY.. :D

The dimmer mode works fine when dark outside. But in daylight the dash lights work about half of the time. Covering the sensor doesn't help. Thanks, Stan
