A lot of problems, HELP!

SlyNightFox · 03-28-2008, 06:30 PM

Hello, I own a 93 Saturn sc2, and recently its been messing up. i found a leak in my tranny line going to the radiator, replaced it an now i'm leaking more than before? any help with that would be great. also i hooked my car up to the OBD sensor and my Command Pressure in P&D are 60, R&2 are 222, 3rd is at 72 and N is 98. Can someone with a running no problem sc2 person tell me what these mean and what should they be sitting at? Much appreciated with the help that i can get.

yo for the 1's that got motor leaks and tranny leaks... my saturn had a big hole in my tranny i found that out when i replaced mines..the radiator wus busted too.. then my watter pump was done too. so i parked my car for 6mounths i bought peace by peace till i had the tranny radiator water pump etra parts like new stage 2 clutch fly wheel gasketts all of them and more stuff. it took 1,200$$ to get it fix with parts and mechanic work... now it's hooked up with body kit rims the whole 9 yards. it was worth putting in the money
i always say :"""the saturn's are good cars a little maintance in them and they"ll keep going. these cars are fast too.

Welcome to the Board.

Is it leaking from the line that you replaced? If not then you are going to have to track it to the source. If from the line then replace it gain. There should be somekind of warrnty on it.

Do you have some kind of problem with trans besides the leak that you are worried about the pressures?

the problem can be solved by putting a card board under the car and were the leaks drop in you'll find it quick

Found out that the leakage was comin from the line that i jus replaced. a bolt wasn't tightened down properly. now im only worried bout weather or not the command pressure is a problem! can anyone with a good running sc2 hook up a obd sensor and tell me what they're suppose to be in all the gears?

Thats not always true, i put alot more than that into my saturn just to have a valve bend while merging on the highway at 4KRPMS (yes i felt it).. paying sombody money to fix a car that old is a risk IMO, who are you to say when his clutch is good, his car wont have anymore problems. get a new car because no matter what it will burn oil at some point unless you pay another $1500 to rebuild the head. SL2's are oil burning money pits. Mine only lasted 100K miles and i had to replace the Clutch, crank and seals, rear main seal, calipers/rotors/pads/lines, 2 starters, exhaust flex pipe and muffler. I was adding two quarts of oil for every tank of gas and I only owned the car for 20K miles before i realized i bought a lemon. Sorry to chump on you guys and your saturns, i loved my saturn... but late model GM vehicles lack somthing in craftsmanship. Honda and Nissan FTW

When PROPERLY taken care of these s-series will last WELL OVER 150K with MUCH less money put into them then what you would put down for a new car. ALL of my s-series have lasted OVER 200K with very little problems except for my '02 and '97 that I own now. They are both near 170K.

I know someone named Luke who has 521k on his '95 and getting 41mpg. Right there is proof saturn s-series are GREAT cars

Yeah the original owners driving habits and maintinence schedules play a very important role in how long the car will last, i got mine with roughly 80K miles on it and it was running fine until a week after, but i hate to see you guys on here struggling to keep your SL2's alive.. i wish sombody had told me before i sunk my life savings into it. on a brighter note im driving this now...

On the other hand, those of us who are hobbyists or who are able to and dont mind rebuilding engines - can benefit from the Saturn S series cars. There are two of them in my family now & there will probably be more. I got our 92 SL2for $300. It seemed to run well, but had the usual hole between differential and bell housing. I pulled both engine & tranny, put $1400 into parts to rebuild them (the work was easy), and its been running nicely for nearly a year. No problems, & its a fun car to drive. I expect it to last a long time, with my maintenance and thanks to this forum.
I doubt the folks who simply buy a car and have to pay someone else fix it, Ever have the feeling of satisfaction that I do every time I drive one of my cars, each of which I have put back together myself. Im a hobbyist, and now retired - so its good exercise for me too.
