2001 Saturn SL1 Not Starting Sign In

Have replaced the battery and starter after 2 weeks of a few no starts. 2 months later it would not start again, did after a boost.

All panel displays light up, starter sounds fine, just doesn't start engine up.

Any suggestions for cheapest fixes to start with?

If the engine/starter starts and runs when 'boosted', that's telling me that you have a low voltage problem. Could be poor connections, voltage drop in the cables (unlikely), or an electrical drain in the system. Or, even a bad battery, even though it is fairly new. With the engine running, your voltage should be from 13.6V-14.6V. A fully charged battery will have 13.2V.

I forgot to mention that there were times that the car started without a boost as well and sometimes with a little push (its a standard).





You have been warned about the signature twice now...........Please remove it
