While true - I'd be complaining loudly if I had a miss-fire on a little 4 cylinder 1.9 liter engine! (I own and maintain two SC2 Saturns. Miss-firing is very hard to not notice.) The culpability of the coolant temperature sensor in this vehicle is legendary. (Been there. Done that. Not making ANY of this up!) |
