Hello all, my name is dennis & I own a 2005 Saturn Ion sedan. Love this car! It rides nice and gets ~30-32mpg. I just posted about a popping noise and i see a couple responses, i do appreciate the help. The car has ~116k and here are specs: L4 2.2L MFI DOHC (taken from VIN decoder online). didn't realize these small engines had Dual cams? but i'm learning something new constantly. I think i have a GM 4T45E transaxle (tranny); but still researching and next chance i get to crawl around, will look for a stamp or some engraving on the tranny.

Thanks for letting me on the forum & have enjoyed reading thru so far.
we also own a 2000 Honda Odyssey (~217k). trying keep her running too. My daughter drives a 2003 Dodge Ram 4x4 p/u with ~202k on it that we found lying dead at a used car lot. it's now a limping dead p/u

Welcome to the forum, Dennis. Your daughter should go to allpar.com to figure out things about her Ram. I'm also a member there. YOU need to stick around here to learn about your Saturn and join in.

appreciate the welcome everyone, and thanks for your patience ... if i post in wrong place or am misguided, just lemme know as i learn to use the site. Also, i work more than full-time job plus am caring for our other daughter (4 yr old) when home so, if i'm slow to respond, it's only cause i'm trying to get back to the car & apply the advice you guys gave.

sw2cam - really appreicate the help getting registered

rubehayseed - nice aerial shot! is that a P51? i used to tow/fuel/wash private planes at LoveField Dallas for 6 years in my younger days. occasionally someone would take me up as payment when they were short on cash after a cleanup. good times. will definitely check out the Dodge help at allpar. tks!

Rj - i did not even know about wikicars. thanks! i'll read the rest of the links as get time.
