2001 Saturn L300 review from North America

Pulley broke five months after I bought it, no big deal.

A hose somewhere near the AC unit busted and filled my floor board with cold water, again not too big of a deal.

Fuel Pump assembly broke... Really big deal... but got it fixed.

Now I don't know what the hell is going on. First it hesitated a tiny bit when starting it, then it just turned of when I pressed on the brakes to pull into a parking lot. It was thought to be the fuel pump, but after a few minutes it started again. I turned it off and let it sit for an hour, turned it on again and drove it for three minutes then it stalled when I pressed on the brakes. Replaced the fuel filter, it ran fine the whole day. Next day it hesitated to start and took me about two miles to a store but would not turn back on. The battery died, I guess from cranking it. Charged for one hour then started and got me back home.

Next day I was on my way to take it to get looked at, it hesitated a little to start and it turned at a red light. Battery died again, checked the alternator and battery, they were fine. My mechanic came over and first thought it was the fuel pump, then he thought it was the alternator he eventually connected a machine thing to it. It gave him four different codes. He replaced a part, but it didn't work. Now it's saying the crankshaft position sensor is no good. What the hell??? I am tired of buying parts that don't fix the problem. Could it be the Crankshaft Position Sensor? I have not bought it yet..

Looks good, used to run well. I dunno.
