Why does the check engine light in my SL2 turn on when I start my car?

Why does my Saturn engine sound different?

Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Saturn SL2 engine. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.

What could damage my Saturn SL2 engine?

Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.

Is it okay to put water in my Saturn SL2 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 SL2 when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

Why did my SL2 engine suddenly stop?

Your SL2 car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
