My car doesn't start

When I was driving my 1991 Saturn SL1 I was going up hill and I was stopped at a red light and all the sudden my car started overheating rapidly. Eventually before the light finally changed my car died. Now it won't start all it does is just turn over and it sounds like its about to start but never does. What can I do about this?!?! Please help!!!!

    I have the same problem, I also had a couple of ASE mechanics say it's the fuel pump. I've replaced the fuel pump, the fuel injector, and a major tune-up, nothing happen it will not hold a start. Now, the mechanic says its he computer. How So. I've been going thru this since August 6th, I am so tired of guessing games, I need a real mechanic. My next solution is to take it to a Saturn dealer. If you have a solution to this problem or a mechanic that knows his stuff, feel me in, I'm in Atlanta.

Have a scanner hooked up to your car and do a data stream to see if your knock sensor is still working. On a heavy load, if the ECM detects detenation in the engine, it will automatically want to ****** the timing to make it run better on a load.

1991 SL1 Saturn, two dashboard lights are on. One ia a red box with low liquid with an arrow poing down. The other is a squiggly flag indicating low water level.

this is for the coolant, this means the coolant level is low, check the level and the resivor, do this when the engine is cold,

check your spark plug wells for oil build up. A BIG problem with the early saturn's are related to the rubber valve cover gaskets the go around the spark plug wells. I have changed dozens that just ware out.

SL1 won't start, just single click, electronics work

Try charging the battery or jumping the car, your alternator could be shot and not charging the battery.
