Some Saturn SW1 owners report experiencing starting issues, particularly when the engine turns over but fails to start after dying while driving. These problems may stem from a bad battery, which is crucial for providing the necessary voltage to crank the engine. Additionally, owners have noted potential fuel delivery problems if the car cranks but does not start, suggesting issues with the fuel system. Problems with the ignition system, such as faulty ignition coils or spark plugs, can also contribute to these difficulties. Furthermore, if there is spark but the engine still won't start, low fuel pressure may be a factor worth checking. Lastly, some owners have found that blown fuses can disrupt various electrical components, preventing the vehicle from starting. To address these issues, it is recommended to first assess the battery's condition, followed by a thorough examination of the fuel system, ignition system, and electrical components.
