What cause my 2008 Saturn to lose power - Saturn Cars & Trucks

  • Dr phil.I.A.M.E Nov 05, 2019

    More than one thing can cause a loss of power.When you diagnose you start with electrics.Then fuel.As long as u know engine and transmission in good condition.If engine has blown headgasket it will have loss of power.If rear muffer blocked loss of power .Easy way to check get someone in vehicle while stationary and out of gear handbrake applied give couple full throttle quick revs.U listen to exhaust at rear of car if its sounds muffled that answers then u need to check where fault lies in muffler or catalitic converter usually muffler.But converters do block up also

Is your check engine light on? If it is, Typically loss of power is a sign the catalytic converter is plugged and should be replaced

2007 Saturn vue 6 cyl aut upon excelleration it loses power atriangle with an exclamation mark inside appears top upper left dash display what ddoes this warning light mean?

Hi Ray,

The symbol is displayed when the Traction Control System is functioning, and the vehicle is automatically adjusting power output to compensate for low traction, and also applying the brake on overspeed wheels.

If the road conditions are not likely to cause this to occur, the it would caused by a faulty wheel speed sensor.
