98 Saturn SL1 won't stay runninglombodml 03-20-2005, 06:32 PM I had recently been in an a slight fender bender and drove the car home. Now everytime I try to start the car, it takes a while for it to start (like no gas) and then it will start. But after that I try to rev the engine and the car begins to stall and die. Please help!!! peppermrj 03-20-2005, 07:12 PM I would first check the vacuum hoses to make sure none are dislodged. @nd I would replace the fuel filter if old and has a lot of miles on it. Let us know how you make out. :2cents: sierrap615 03-20-2005, 10:43 PM mileage? location of impact and amount of damage? lombodml 03-21-2005, 09:00 AM The car has approximately 130,000 miles on it and the hit was on the driver's side rear bumber. The impact was pretty decent and the damage is now a little worse than I thought. Now the trucnk won't quite close right. Is there any kind of inertia/fuel shut-off switch on a saturn? sierrap615 03-22-2005, 12:11 AM no inertia switch. but the fuel pump, pressure regulator, and filter are all back in that area, i think the charcoal canister is back there to. maybe something got damaged or dislogged and cloged or something. you may want to get a fuel pressure tester and take some measurements. one small possiblty is ether the pump and/or regulator have a small check ball that keep fuel pressure up after shutdown. that check ball may be stuck open vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
