I have a 2001 Saturn SL. The check engine light keeps coming on. It stalls when trying to take off. So far, I have replaced EGR valve, Temp sensor, spark plugs, oxygen sensor, fresh air EGR valve flow. It stills reads a problem with the torque convertor solenoid. The fuse TRS2/TCC keeps blowing. It accelarates hard and shifts hard. When it does accelarate, it boges down and stalls. Any ideas as to what else I can do?

That fuse powers shift soledoid 2 and the TCC solenoid. One of those 2 solenoids is probably shorted. The transmission will have to be repaired.

You can replace the fuel pressure regulater in the car.

A tune-up and throttle body clean-up is a good idea, but mind you on those cars, the valve covers usually leak into the spark plugs and coils, causing the car to misfire. If you are replacing the plugs and find them soaked in oil; replace your valve cover gaskets or you will be back to the same problem soon after the oil soaks the new plugs back up again.

Have you checked the fuel pressure? It sounds like a bad fuel pump.

SOURCE: My car will start but will not idle; what is wrong

Sounds like the Idle Air Control valve is stuck. The best course of action is to just replace it since they aren't usually repairable. Also check to make sure that all the wires connected to it are not chewed up and have power with the key in run.

The IAC is the cylindrical looking unit on the side of the throttle body with a 2 wire plug on it.

Service engine light comes on with obd code of p1404, p0405. What do i check ?

Code 1404 for Saturn cars means the computer thinks the EGR is not closing. But it can also mean the computer needs to be re-programmed. There are service bulletins for some models.
Code 405 is a problem with the EGR sensor which can be causing the other code.
Generally the sensor is telling the computer the valve is not closed when the computer commands it to be closed.
It may be tough to fix if the problem is not constant.

Took it to mechanic after it wont stay running he said it needs a crank shaft position sensor and egr valve. Where is the sensor and how do you replace it and how do you replace the egr valve.The mechanic...

what are the codes that made him think these two parts need replacing. The egr could cause a rough idle or stall, But it would need to be stuck open a little which may not set an egr code.

The crank sensor wouldnt cause a rough idle but the car could stall at times intermittantly.

buy a can of throttle body/carby cleaner take the air filter hose off the throttle body start the car and just keep spraying it in there and keep reving the engine as it will stall if you dont, that stuff will clean the inside of your engine real good plus its quicker and cheaper

1994 saturn sl 2 oxygen sensor light came on replaced it. now the code is saying the upstream oxygen sensor input volage above normal operating range???? and theres a bad odor coming from car???

It could be the oxygen sensors but when you said there is a bad odor I would bet that you have a bad EGR valve. It will send a code for the oxygen sensor if there is problems with the EGR valve. A lot of the time the smell is like rotten eggs when you have a bad EGR.

1995 saturn stalls when stopped in gear replaced temp sensor changed plugs,idles fine when in park.

I'd concentrate on IAC (idle air control) valve/motor . Removing it & cleaning with throttle body cleaner & port it comes out of, will sometimes cure problem, but if it happens again, replace it.

My saturn 2001 stalls at stop lights when in idle

your stalling problem could be the egr staying open a peice of carbon will keep it from closing easy to remove and check to see if the pintal is seated or a large vacuum leak will cause havoc with the idle system hot restart problem either the fuel pump or most likely quad driver module a sorry that one cost a few dollars
