My first thoughts are broken motor/transmission mounts or ignition problem such as one or more coils having an issue. Would have the obd scanned for codes. Good Luck!

Perhaps a major misfire. Is the check engine light on?

My 2001 Saturn L-300 couldn't pull a hole shot - it gagged and did 0 - 45 in 2.5 minutes. Mass air flow sensor was the problem. Take the coolant cap off and get a new car to put under it.

Currently own a 03 Saturn L200. Beautiful car! Lost power steering last night. Got home and noticed that the lock ring on the end of the pump was partially displaced. Reinstalled the ring but no power steering. Fluid level is ok. I cant determine if the pump is working as its directly geared to the camshaft? Tried looking in the rocker cover but they have installed a baffle where I need to look. When looking in the resevoir with the engine running, I see no oil movement. Sounds like a pump to me. Any ideas would be appreciated! 1 Answer

I was a mechanic many years ago so 'mechanically inclined. That being said, I know nothing about this model (just bought it for my wife)
