Anonymous Posted on Feb 11, 2015

I have a 2003 Saturn Vue. It will not start but sound like it wants to start. However, it has a loud knock when trying to start. Cannot drive it.

Could not start. Had it towed to repair shot where I am being advised to junk it. Repair shop did get it started but loud knock persists. Car has 119,000 miles on it. I am trying to decide whether to junk it or repair it.

It would cost way more to repair, so I would suggest finding another car

2003 Saturn Vue. How to disable or bypass theft deterrent security system to a 2003 Vue that quit running while I'm driving.

Question edited for fix all the typos and spelling.
Question moved to category.

No, you can't disable it, you have to fix the problem, not try and find a way around it.

There is help to reset, but you probably need an auto electrician or a local place that installs alarms and remote starters. The both have pro grade scan tool computers to diagnose the problem.

Noking

a knock from the bottom of the motor is a big end bearing STOP DRIVING, new engine or rebuild required, a knock from the rear of the engine could be loose pressure plate on clutch assembly, that is if it is a manual, STOP DRIVING. a rattle from top end is lifters or rockers but you say its a knock so probably not it. one test to do, remove all drive belts to water pump etc and start if the knocking is still apparent then it is internal and time to consider trade in, rebuild or new engine.

AC Compressor

try having someone kill the a/c while you check for the noise. if it stops then check further into the compressor where you said you thought it was coming from. It could be the bearings in the compressor clutch going out.
