To everyone wanting repair advice & direction...
I've seen a lot of people asking here recently, "where is this..." "how do
I do that...". Rather than solely relying on the kindness of strangers to post, pick up a Haynes or Chilton manual for your car at any auto parts store for around $10. It is amazing what you can do with one (along with some patience, confidence, and a few tools). Also, do a Google groups search of this message group. You are likely not the first who has ever asked the question. A LOT of questions could be answered very quickly with a Google groups search. Being a Saturn owner for more than 11 years now, I used to post here a lot offering instructions and help to those who asked, but don't do it much anymore. I find the exact same questions being asked over and over, and a person has only so much time and patience to retype the answer each time. Use Google groups. It will help.

... | There is no $10 Haynes or Chilton manual for an L100, L200, LW200, L300, or | LW300. Which is why I invested $140 in the set of factory manuals from Helm. I'll take a Haynes manual over a Chilton any day... If they would only publish what I need. Chilton manuals used to be great - about 30 years ago |

Haynes and Chilton manuals are available at any Doscount/Advanced Auto, Pep
Boys or other auto parts store at an average of $15 each. Just fyi, to be helpful, Lane is right, there are alredy alot of old archived posts here. To find them using Outlook Express, click on the Find button on the top toolbar and search for any keyword. You can also search this board from Google at: http://groups.google.com/ Just type in Saturn in the search and click on Related groups link at the top of the posts. All posts are archived there too and no newsreader required. marx404 |

I agree - part of working on your own car is doing your own research.

<sarcasm>Is it still okay to post a question about a procedure before
proceding based solely on what Chilton's says?</sarcasm> Everyone is at a different stage in their learning. Whether it is cars or computers or life. I will still thank those who take the trouble to ask, and those who take the trouble to answer. I learn from reading both.

I've been reading this ng for a long time just to learn.
Personally, I hope Lane says around as he's definitely a Saturn Pro. He's given me good advice and others as well. Tomorrow, I've got to get to the bottom of a 'Code 26'. The weather's getting rotten and I was hoping I'd prepared my Saturn enough to get through til spring time. Wrong! I hope it isn't the Canister Purge solenoid. Think I'm getting old.... Being as how the SES light comes on at startup, it's probably, indeed, the purge solenoid. Crap. Read google's related past article's and will tackle this torrow, weather permitting.
