This morning I started the car all seemed normal, but when I started to drive it seemed like I was in high gear any ideas.

??? O2 sensor ???

Actually, best thing to do would be to download the codes stored up in the computer, and see what develops ....

Indeed -- see https://www.saturnforum.com/forum/sh...ighlight=codes for detailed instructions on pulling ODB I codes (compliments of OA). You can use a paper clip to connect the A and B terminals...

Please post codes here and we will help you sort it out....

code 23 = air temperature sensor circuit out of range, low.

Check connector at/wiring to the temp sensor in the air box or air intake -- it is probably not making good contact -- or sensor is itself defective.

The intake air temp (IAT) sensor can be replaced with the same sensor as the ECTS -- they are identical. Evaluate need to replace connector (squeeze to release). Use brass tipped OEM style replacement.

Note: I recently replaced the IAT sensor on my 95 SC2. The part that the sensor threads into has a square base which was actually encased in the plastic. It was rusted pretty nasty. I ended up actually removing the sensor and mounting piece as a unit, then getting some torque on the old sensor while being able to hold the square piece.

Reassembled by wedging the square base back into the plastic. Not textbook, but fully functional
