So I have this 2000 Saturn Sl1 that I took on a trip and it had trouble going up hill and would occasionally shift really hard is the fact that this car has really low horsepower and it's more to be a city car, please let know what I can do to fix this or what I can add for more power
1. Scan your car for any stored trouble codes.
2. Change your fuel filter & pressure test the fuel pump.
3. When was the last time you changed the ATF?
The transmission fluid is pink and healthy and I'm sure about codes but I'm sure the fuel pump is good because when it was out in all my other cars my gas gauge stoped working correctly and mine works perfectly fine
Well, if you’re ‘sure’ there aren’t any codes and it’s not the filter or pump, start with the absolute basics such as engine oil, air filter, spark plugs, etc. Still, just for the heck of it, pressure test your fuel pump -
