2005 Saturn Ion 2 - Page 4 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

It appears that you got it right but to be sure the check is on the timing chain there are 3 black links If you have it right then the black links will line up with the marks. If not then re adjust the gear that is not correct.- ensure that you have the ignition timing right as you may be 180 degrees out

If you have a manual transmission, you may have a problem with with clutch pedal switch. Some GM's have a problem with faulty wiring for this switch behind dash. Only way to check is at fuse panel. Look for power going to switch, and power returning to fuse box. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_f2436a37cbb50365

Are you asking a question or making a statement? This is a tricky one to change. Hope you have experience changing timing chains.

Could be a slipping or defective belt, bad belt tentioner, defective alternator or regulator in the alternator or battery and or battery connections. Need more information. Does it always start? Does it do it when you have lights and heater blower on and is off at other times?

Check out valves in head first probly burnt out u will need to remove head first then u can check them out / firstly has any one adjusted the tappets on the head if so may b they have been tightened up to much as this will hold valve open causing no compression if no one has done them then remove head

use a scanner to retrieve codes

Ford is the only manufacturer that uses a resettable fuel shut off switch. If you have no fuel pressure than either the fuel pump is bad, there is no power getting to the fuel pump, or the anti theft system is active.

The security, antitheft, or passlock light is a visual indication that something in the car's antitheft system is failing. In most GM cars and trucks there is a hidden system that most people are unaware even exists. From the moment you put your key in the ignition, there begins a constant line of communication between your key's security chip or transponder, to the ignition's lock cylinder, and then to the car's TDM (Theft Deterrent Module). These 3 parts are in CONSTANT communication. If the key is in the ignition, then these parts are sending signals to each other. The security light illuminates when that signal gets broken, even just for a second. When the signal breaks, the car misinterperates this as an attempt at theft and goes into antitheft mode. The car thinks its being stolen or hotwired because it is not getting that signal from YOUR specific key. This is why the security light turns on and shuts down your vehicle. This link may help you find ways to bypass this or fix it yourself.http://vatspasslockpasskeysecurityhelp.yolasite.com/

If the oil is on the outside of the spark plugs, you could have leaking valve cover seals or gaskets.

Who check starter do know what wrong.Battery connection,fuel filter spark plugs.

well that tells me alot could be bad battery could be bad starter bad fuel pump bad fuel injectors bad distrubitor

Bit of an unheard of problem. You might try just bending the relay prongs a tiny bit to make them fit snug. Was there a cover lid that fit tightly, and kept them in place? I suppose solder would be a good fix if you have to go that route, but I've never heard of this problem before.

that is a pcm code saying there is a trans code present in the trans computer you need a scan tool that can go into that module

Your owners manual will explain this, please reference the manual, but the problem may be a defective fuel pump.

You've already replaced the first 2 things that needed to be checked, now it's time for the motors, or to have a mechanic diagnose your problem...and I would strongly suggest that you take it to an ASE certified mechanic...good luck.

Hello! Without knowing the code that is causing the engine light to come on I can only guess...Take the car to an auto parts store for a free scan of the OBDll code storage (On Board Diagnostics)...Most common fault is a dirty EGR valve (Exhaust Gas Recirculation)...Send the code to me once you have retrieved it...Guru...saailer I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_6df67de3b14de867

on the drivers side of the center console there is a plastic screw that removes a cover the fuse is behind there i have found that the switches fail more often than anything else try rocking the switch back and forth firmly
