What are normal AC gauge readings?
What are normal AC gauge pressures when the system is running? Generally speaking, you want around 27-psi on the low side and 200 on the high side.
Are there any problems with the Saturn’s series?
Saturn experimented with making these out of plastic, it was a huge failure. ALL of them failed, if you still own one of these cars and it hasn’t been replaced, it has failed. Symptoms include hard starting, rough idle, temperature gauge not working, awful fuel economy, poor performance, and stumbling, among many other things.
What should the pressure be on the low side of the AC?
The pressure reading from the low side should be between 25 and 30 psi and the high side between 200 and 250 psi. But if you see the AC low side high, high side low, such as the low side is 100 and the high side is 150, there might be problems with any of the inner components.
Why is my fuel pump not working on my Saturn s?
This is caused mainly by overdrawing from the 12v socket, or high power aftermarket accessories drawing from the same circuit. There will be melted plastic around the fuse. The radio, chime module, dome light, 12v socket, and fuel pump are on this circuit. You will probably know about it when the fuel pump stops working.
How can I tell if my AC is low or high?
To gauge the pressure, hook up a gauge set to the AC system and record the pressures of both low and high sides. Check the ambient temperature and see if the pressures match the numbers on the pressure chart. Compare the pressure readings with the pressure chart.
How to troubleshoot the air conditioner in a Saturn s?
Before you start troubleshooting the AC, you’ll want to make sure that the outside temperature is above forty degrees. Then start the car, put the fan switch on, and push the AC button in. Now you should see the compressor clutch in the AC system spinning. If it isn’t, you need to find out why not.
What are the symptoms of a Saturn’s series failure?
ALL of them failed, if you still own one of these cars and it hasn’t been replaced, it has failed. Symptoms include hard starting, rough idle, temperature gauge not working, awful fuel economy, poor performance, and stumbling, among many other things. This sensor has at least something to do with almost everything the computer does.
What was the biggest problem with Saturn cars?
