- - sl2 having a hard time starting (https://www.saturnforum.com/forum/general-tech-help-13/sl2-having-hard-time-starting-2296/)

I took a beat up 97 sl2 as part of the deal when I sold my car. I
replaced the radiator, thermostat, plugs/wires, fuel/oil/air filter,
egr valve, map/o2 sensor, and a few other small things as soon as I got
the car. It drove fine but then developed a problem where the fuel
pressure would build and fall as soon as the pump shut off. I replaced
the fuel pump and drove it down the road and it stalled. It took me
like 5 min to get it started. Now after I get it to start the motor
will idle fine, but when I give it gas the motor bogs down before it
revs up. The fuel pressure and spark is good. Any ideas?

Have you replaced the ECTS and its connector?

Search ECTS on the forum........

Derf

well... I am pretty sure that part has gone bad, I just didn''t know that the temp sensor would cause that big of a problem. I am going to replace it and see if it works.

Ok... I replaced the ECTS and that solved the problem, Thanks for the help.
