Lloyd; sounds like vacuum leak, i use starter fluid (CAREFULLY)to locate vacuum leaks. Also on the 2.2 ecotec fuel dirty stuck injectors can do this, while car is running, give a sharp 2 or 3 raps on injectors one at a time, listen for engine noise change, check links below. PRESS THE HELPFUL BUTTON How To Find Vacuum Leak EricTheCarGuy ENGINE VACUUM LEAKS Easy tips on finding them How to find vacuum leaks and easily How to Diagnose Misfire Codes GM 2 2L

could be no fuel pressure for the injectors could be no spark and the apparent trying to start is from the compression ignition of the starter fluid best have the fault codes read first to determine the area of failure

Does the security light stay on ? Your key may be worn down to the point where the ignition tumblers no longer hit the proper points.

It shouldn't, they are separate systems. You may need to reprogram the key fob, (If that's what you meant by "keyless") but that can only be done by dealer on that vehicle. If the passlock gives you problems, you can bypass that. http://www.diy-gm-security.com/

Check the drive belt driving the AC compressor.

The engine most likely stalled due to the exhaust system being under water. When this happens the engine can't breathe properly and will stall. The vehicle may be flooded. Try holding your foot to the floor and cranking the engine to help clear a flooding situation. There may have also been some electrical that has gotten wet as well but it should be dried out by now as it is designed to operate in wet/rainy conditions

SHOULD BE IN FUSE BOX UNDER HOOD CHECK OWENERS MANUEL IT WILL TELL YOU LOCATION MIGHT BE LISTED AS BATTERY FUSE.

The battery in your remote m may be going bad. Don't know why this happens but it does. That little battery can give you, your car and your neighbors a real headache. Hope this is the fix.

if you connected the jumper leads up wrongly you have most likely put 24 volts into the system instead of 12 volts & damaged all of the electric components including the computer, you will need to consult an auto electrician to sort out the problem.....hope this helps.....cheers

Good question hard problem . The cable is likely not broken just streched so now the level inside the vehicle can't travel enough to pull the cable far enough to pop the latch. You need to remove the cable from the inside level eighter by removeing the int. lever and slideing the cable out it has a little drum at the end of the cable that fits into the lever .If you can get the cable out you can take a pair of vice grips and pull the cable the hood should pop if the isn't broken or frozen inside the jacket. Try to save the cable if you can you can put spacers at the hood latch end I have used cable ties to do this take up the slack . But the cause of the problem is the hood lacth lack of lubericant you will need to clean it get it moveing freely again and lub .it with white lithium greese .It comes in a spray can .Do all door hinges strickers and latches every few year and they will last longer and not give you problems .

It's difficult to tell what's going on from your question, your old battery appeared to have failed, so you replaced it? Did you check voltage while it was running? It should be more than 13 VDC, otherwise the battery will discharge, but it's not the fault of the battery, that would indicate a problem with the alternator and/or voltage regulator. There are 3 important voltage readings: running (13+), not running (12+) and while cranking (9+). Are you saying that after replacing the battery everything is dead? I would check the battery cables and terminals, make sure the wire hasn't been stressed or compromised, and that the connectors are shiny-clean. (You can but a terminal cleaner, with wire brushes to clean the fittings both inside and out, for a few dollars.) Also, it's uncommon, but there's no law that says a brand new battery can't be dead.

My guess is bad cv joints and since ur asking I'm guessing it might be a challenge for u to fix. Check out YouTube.com for 2004 Saturn cv joint replacement.
