If there are any pieces of the teeth missing at all, it will just continue to ruin starters.

Re: 97 Saturn sl1 will crank but wont start

Well since we're working with a marginal at best flexplate it would problably be best to nail this down as quick as possible with the least amount of cranking....

It runs on ether so the ign should be good.
Next best thing to do would be to get a fuel pressure gauge and see if you are getting fuel pressure & its within specs....You can check the pressure by just cycling the key from the off to on position. Everytime you turn it to the on position, the pump with run for 2 seconds & then power down if it doesn't sense rpms.

If you don't have a gauge, call around to different parts stores, some of them have loaner programs...

Re: 97 Saturn sl1 will crank but wont start

So long story short checked the fuel lines and found that the fuel pump was bad and the tank needed a cleaning. So i replaced the fuel pump and cleaned the tank out and when that was done i added some fuel and, I cranked the car to hear the car roar back to life. So thanks for all yalls help.
