Why does the check engine light come on when I start my Ion?

Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. This is just your Ion testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.

Why is my Saturn Ion making engine noise?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Saturn Ion. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.

What could damage a Saturn engine? [ordered-list-1-item-3-1]Are you unknowingly damaging your Saturn Ion engine?

Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.

Can I use water in my Saturn Ion radiator?

An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your Ion when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

What can cause a Ion engine to suddenly stop?

Reasons your Ion car engine may suddenly stop include engine overheating, electrical troubles, mechanical issues, ignition system problems, faulty sensors, and low fuel.
