97 Saturn SC2 Pains	Sign In

I have a 1997 Saturn SC2 with an engine from a 1995 Saturn SC2,

When i turn the ignition it tries to turn over but doesnt start, I replaced the fuel filter and tested the fuel pump which seems to be working. Replaced Air Filter. Battery was giving me trouble so i replaced that too, but still it frequently just does not want to start. When i pump the gas it sounds even more like it will turn over but just rumbles as my tachometer bounces near zero

Plugs and wires are reletively new, someone suggested that i replace the DIS Module.

Any thoughts?

I had a somewhat similar problem... car would start sometimes but not others... turn key and car would turn over and over
after spending a good amount of cash trying to get it fixed, a small station mechanic told me to replace the crankshaft sensor
and see if it worked... sure enough that was it... I don't know if these are the symptoms you are having. Like I said mine would
turn over but wouldn't start sometimes and others would start with absolutely no problem...

How nice of you to post what fixed a similar problem. MrOrange didn't mention lack of spark (or my eyesight is complely gone) and a crank sensor sure could do that. NEVER forget that some of the best techs can work in those little corner garages!! Hope that ends the problem for MrOrange. Sharing info makes these sites the best,
