Loss of power

No codes come up. Tranny was the same 2002 sl2 with 127,000 on it
What did you mean by 3 cats?

Our car is a saturn sl2 duel overhead cam. We made sure the main exaust cat coverter was not blocked. The car acts like it is in a limp-home mode. Loss of power in all gears. While driving rpm go high if you let off the accelerator they come down and the car will shift. Gets real boggy when trying to accelerate.

To save money could I unhook the exhaust at the manafold in order to test it.

Turns out the first cat came apart and plugged up the second one. Replaced it and its all good. Thanks so much for the help

My saturn starts fine when cold. If I let it idle for a few minutes it starts to miss and eventually just dies. You cannot restart it until it cools down. The temp gauge shows a rapid increase in temp but it remains in normal range and does not indicate overheating. (No numbers. Just deflects to the middle mark on the gauge between cold and to hot). No check engine light. Oil preasure ok. Fluids all ok.

Had to disconnect the wires under the steering column of a 97 saturn sl2. The wires went two places, 4 wires (red, orange, yellow and black) connected to some wires underneath the steering wheel. The other 4-6 (white, green, red, and a plug that consisted of both a brown and blue wire) went to some other wires under where the car radio would be, and connected just right under the cup holder area. There were two small black and blue wires grounded. All of these wires were connected to a white plug that seemed to be meant to plugged into another part which I don't have. After these were disconnected, there has been no power to the car at all. Can someone provide me instructions on which wires to connect where so that the car may start again?

In addition, this was all initiated because of my car not starting in the first place. I believe it's due to the security system of the car, considering the car's headlights and dome lights would work, but the radio wouldn't turn on and the car never attempted to start (wouldn't turn over, when the key was turned to run, it would just go quiet). Should the system be removed, or is there a way to bypass this fault so that I can start the car again?

No sir, the wires weren't cut, a new radio was installed but removal of those wires were not related to the new radio installation. The security system has never gone off prior to this.

Here are some Pics

Pic 1: Where the first 4 plugs connect, under the steering wheel, this is directly under the steering wheel. I have connected some of the plugs as you can see, but I'm not sure if they're correct. The wires with blue connectors on the end are on the same long wire as pic 3.

Pic 2: These are the 4 connectors I found that can be accessed by removing the cupholder. These wires are right next to the fuse box on the passenger side of the vehicle.

Pic 3: This is what needs to be connected to those 4 connectors that are in pic 2. I don't know which color connects to which. The 2 wires off to the side were grounded to a metal bar located near those wires in pic 2.

Pic 4: This is where all the wires seem to run from, the one connector that was unplugged when I bought the car. The green and red wires were cut when I bought the car.

I just have to find out which colors connect to which colors so I can get power to the car again! The power locks don't work, there's no chime, no lights, nada

When I'm driving the car will lose power and stall. I just had it tuned up all filters were changed the wired were changed and the fuel pump was changed. It happens off and on but not all the time
Thanks

I had the computer check the car and the folling codes were listed ; PO 171, PO 507, PO 1599
Thanks
