Sounds like you could have a restricted exhaust have your back pressure tested for being excessive.Let me know what you find.

thanks for the fast reply, I have been thinking to maybe the TPS to. I'l put the gas to the floor now an i get nothing. It dont even have to be warmed up now to get no power to the wheels.

If you have a bad tps it usually sets a code it's really uncommon for a bad tps on that car i have worked for saturn as a service tech for over 16yrs and have replaced very few tps on the S model car.I would check the back pressure and fuel pressure i think most likely too much back pressure.Let me know what you find.

Ok, thanks much. I'l have to wait for a better day its really nasty in my neck of the woods, but i will keep you posted thanks again!

If it was the coolant temp sensor being that bad i would think you would have overheating and trouble starting.Keep me posted on what you find.

that did the job thanks!

So it was a restricted exhaust?

yea, i took it apart an knocked the metal mesh out the converter an it runs good again

Glad to hear you got it figured out.Just to let you know its against the law to hallow out a cat like that mad run the car with a hallowed out or missing cat.

its not in WI yet you can straight pipe any car. they are trying to pass it here.

The cat is a federal emissions and law not a state law every car sold in the usa every state has to have a cat on it.They may not have emissions testing where you live but that cat is supposed to be on there.That's why they have 49 state emissions which is federal emissions.Then in california they have other add on emissions laws in addition to the federal ones.Was just throwing that out there.

o well its just a temp fix anyways but thanks for the heads up.

Your welcome that's what were here for.
