My saturns service engine light was on for a month when my car started breaking down. Autozone diagnosed that it was the camshaft position sensor. I replaced the CRANKSHAFT position sensor, plugs and wires. Also i replaced the coolant temp sensor. My car still dies on me. But i did notice that when my car dies and wont start if i take off the battery wire for about a minute and then put it back on my car will start and run for a very short period. Can anyone please help me with this problem? Loren Champlain Sr Veteran / Moderator Feb 18, 2009, 6:40 PM Post #2 of 3 (1989 views) Re: 2000 saturn sl1 Sign In Jordan; Autozone strikes again! Is the check engine light still on? When you disconnect the battery, the PCM will lose it's memory and go into a 'fail safe' mode. Then, it will take a drive cycle for it to relearn perameters. It's just like rebooting your PC at home. When it fires up, it goes thru different 'checks' before you can use it. As soon as the check engine light comes on, it will store a trouble code. Have that code read and post it here and we'll see what we can come up with. Don't let them sell you any more parts until we get to the bottom of this.
