Engine and loss of power light came on.

Maxsom. I have a new question. I have a 2004 Saturn ion 2.2 that I had the engine rebuilt, new rings(std), new pistons(std), new rod inserts(std), had the cyl head redone by a machine shop, after it was done the car smoke very badly. Thinking the rings need to seat I drove it over 800 miles it burned about 2qts of oil. Well I had it tore back down and check to see if we had broke ring. It was not. We could see that most of the oil lost was on #1 cyl. So we put different rings in it (all molly) before we had molly/chrome. We sent the head back to the machine shop to recheck it. It was good. Now that we have put it all back together it still smokes all coming from #1 cyl. I have drove it now 400 miles. I know the rings has to seat but this is bad. Any clues.

Driving along at a slow speed through a construction area yesterday, and my car dinged and flashed the "Service Vehicle" message, and the security symbol lit up. I arrived at my destination a few minutes later, turned the car off and went inside. When I came out about 15 minutes later, the message was gone and did not come on for the rest of day. This morning I was driving to work and the message and light came on again.

I didn't experience any obvious problems either time (ie loss of power, sputtering, steering, etc). The key fob works to lock/unlock and arm the security system, though it seems to take a little bit more to get the system to arm, like the button is wearing out (I've been using the same key fob for 8 years). Any ideas?

Thank you!

my car loses power going up hills, and then sometimes she will kick in and shoot ahead. What can the problem be.
