Car won't start with ignition on but Gage's go crazy
Almost invariably a grounding problem.
1) Check battery make sure its good. Many autoparts stores will do this for free.
2) If you had any work done under the dash - stereo, center console in the last couple of years, start there, look for a loose or broken ground wire. Often these wires are colored black, but they don't have to be. Also, make sure the engine block has a solid ground to the chassis. The ground wires are often made from braided stainless steel, the problem is the connectors at the end can rust and fail if they get too hot (stainless is only highly rust resistant, not perfect)
My 2004 Ion has an engine surge when I stop and
Take the car to an autoparts store and have them scan the computer for fault codes. Most parts stores will do the scan for free. Getting the codes should narrow down the cause of the problem with the engine surge. I would suspect a faulty throttle position sensor, but getting the codes should help narrow down the cause.
Our 2004 Saturn Ion has
The point may be moot now, but there is a recall on the key cylinder. Go to a GM dealer for more information.
How to craft boots
I think a shoe smith might be better to answer this question. I would think you would need several types of leather, you know...for the soles, uppers, and laces. And tacks and hammers and adhesives. and a pattern would probably help.
I have oil on my spark plug
may need to replace rings or redo the valves in the head, if it is not much oil then clean up and put the plugs back in but you are looking at some major engine work to be done.
2004 Saturn ION wont start when it get cold?
You have to replace your ignition switch/starter. Its a common problem with ions yet no recall. Just google it and you will get tons of threads. Its a costly repair too around 400 dollars :-(. I have had to replace mine twice in 3 years

With it being in the bell housing,which I think is one of the stupidest tricks the auto industry has ever played on us,it just neans the transmission has to come out before you can get to it.Then pull the bell housing off.Plan on a good full day of work my friend.

2007 saturn ion wont start
Need more information. Is the battery good? Does it turn over? if the battery is good and it won't turn over you could have a stuck start solenoid (Tap with wrench) or the relay that energizes the starter is bad. I just replaced the relay which is part of a connector under the dash on my 98 SC2, after a new battery and an indication of no voltage to the started when the key was in the start position. works now
2007 ion wont shift past first
My 98 Saturn just did the same thing and it was the shift lever bushing. In this case the linkage felt like it was not connected to anything. Will need to put on hoist to see linkage to really tell.
Causes oil pressure
check that you are putting the filter in the right way as you may be blocking the flow instead of filtering the flow.
Car wont start
Head Gasket has nothing to do with changing the oil
If you have a bad head gasket the motor would over heat
& you would be using coolant
Best to go to a local shop & have a talk there
