Hello,
Please help me. My 2003 saturn ion 3 sporatically just won't start. It will be fine some days and start right up, but will just not turn over on other days. No rhyme or reason as to when it happens although cold windy wet weather does not help.
Please help me with some suggestions. I don't even know what to do. We have had the battery checked and the mechanic wants to see it when it is not starting which is next to impossible. There are so many online forums about this same issue for other saturn owners. We are all having the same problem with no help.
Thanks,
Christine
