Some Saturn SL2 owners report experiencing ignition issues that cause the engine to start and then die. These problems may stem from a worn-out key or ignition, which can hinder proper engine operation. Additionally, issues with the ignition switch, such as a malfunctioning component, may lead to intermittent loss of lighting and other accessories, resulting in a silent starter motor. Insufficient fuel supply due to a clogged fuel filter or other fuel system problems can also prevent the engine from starting correctly. Furthermore, malfunctions within the ignition system, such as a lack of spark, can contribute to these starting difficulties. To resolve these issues, it is advisable for owners to check the condition of the key and ignition, inspect the fuel system for any deficiencies, and test the ignition system to ensure it provides the necessary spark for smooth engine operation.
