Does the car turn over? If the car doesnt turn over and you also tried jump starting it, its possibly a starter motor. If the motor turns the car over and it doesnt fire, could be fuel or ignition. You can test for ignition with an old school timing light, or an extra plug wire and a spare spark plug (but you need to be careful to properly ground the temporary spark plug.) to check fuel, if you can check fuel rail pressure thats for sure one way (when you turn the key on). Any engine light codes?
I have no key to a 2000 L series saturn, and im wanting to know how to start it without having to hotwire the car.
I have a 2003 Saturn l200 it turns over but it won't start I put a fuel filter on it but still won't start if you hold the gas pedal down to the floor it trys to start
don't hold ur foot on open throttle when trying to start all your going to do is flood the system. First, you must just check your battery to see if there's a charge. if not then buy a new battery or attempt to charge that one so you can drive it to a shop. Then you can try to crank it over and if it doesn't then you'll need a new start, however, if it does than just give the throttle body a good cleaning same with the map sensor and throttle position sensor. If it is running but your battery is continuously dying than you can take it to a shop and have the alternator check. I recommend if you can get it to a shop then do it because it's cheap to do that than buy a lot of new parts and still have it breaking in a month or so down the line.
well i have a 2003 saturn L-series and i was driving it and i let it sit for a few days and i came back and it wouldn't start. i turned the key kept getting juice to the battery but it still wouldn't start so then i was thinking it might be the spark plugs so im not sure what wrongs and ideas.
I have a 2001 saturn sc2. Wont start. Tried to jump it, nothing. No clicking. All lights and radio come on, but when you turn the key the radio and odometer lights go out. Any thoughts?
coolant temp sensor, fuel pump, crankshaft position sensor, wet spark plugs, bad Ignition coils, broken wire to the ignition module, bad ignition module, bad computer, bad starter motor, bad fuel pump relay, clogged fuel filter, and even low compression. if any of these are bad and not producing how they should, they will hinder an engine from starting.
