Saturn Aura intermittent starting issue after shutting off for a few hours on Saturn Aura

Problem overview

Some Saturn Aura owners report experiencing intermittent starting issues after the vehicle has been shut off for a few hours, which may be linked to electrical or fuel system problems. These issues can hinder the proper functioning of the engine. Additionally, some owners have noted error codes such as P0315 and P0601 when encountering these starting difficulties. Problems with the ignition switch have also been reported, leading to failures in electronics or a no-crank condition, prompting a check of the ignition switch if issues persist. To effectively diagnose the problem, backprobing the ignition switch while in the Start position can help determine if it is receiving voltage during the issue. Furthermore, insufficient fuel delivery can cause the Aura to crank without starting, and ignition problems, such as a lack of spark, can also prevent the engine from starting. It is crucial for owners to investigate these areas to pinpoint and resolve the underlying causes of the starting issues.
