i just bought a 92 saturn sl knowing it ran horseshit, the guy kept working
on it pouring parts and money into it new parts used parts ect i don't know
what he all did to it,i don't think he knows either then gave up .so i got
it for $150.00,it sat for about 1-1/2 years before i got it, has a 1.9 sohc
motor .starts super hard ,floods so bad fouls plugs,black sout on ground out
of tail pipe steady black/blue smoke all over the huge area behind car ,never
seen anything like it. , super strong gas smell ,not oil does not burn oil ,
gas in the oil from flooding, it would idle down before after starting now it
got even worse, now it idles or reves at 3000 rpm.if you step on gas pedal it
idles down to normal for about 2 seconds then screams up to 3000 to 3500 and
stays there .i dont think the cool fan comes on either ,and there is a huge
buldge in radiator hose when running ? iv'e tried a few things no luck yet.i
did change the one temp sensor on driver side the one towards the front of
car with a used one, did nothing . i have a 93 same car sitting right next
to it that runs good,that i have been swaping sensors and parts off of so i
don't have to buy till i find the problem.i have more time then money so it
don't bother me to much yet but its getting there.i can't take it to saturn
dealer at $110.00 an hour ,thats what they charge now, i can't beleive it .
could it be the thermostate or one of the temp sensors ,it could be so many
things ,i tried that code thing before on other saturns got several codes
back then gave up took to dealer after know one could figure it out,the codes
had absolutely nothing to do with the problem both times ,one time it was
just plug wires ,the other time it was a intake gasket .
