Hi, for some reason I can't find a multimeter anywhere, autozone didn't have one neither, but I remember something, the car had a transmission code I read on autozone's website about the ignition control module couple of things it said was when not replaced inconsistent transmission shift points, maybe that explain why I had a transmission code, & the transmission shifts fine.

Thats a 1st gear incorrect ratio has nothing to do with the ignition system at all. That means the computer has detected slips in first gear. Do you have a delay or delay bang into reverse?

Most common reason for a transmission code like that is a pressure problem in the transmission or a loose input shaft nut.

In my many years of expernice with these cars a lot of people that are even great mechanics dont always come up with the correct diagnoses especially when it comes to the transmissions. So I was offering my help with what he finds but if your good with him then good luck to you.I have had major transmission chains call me and bring customers saturns they just couldnt figure out to the dealer I worked at.

Mainly the crank shaft sensor thats your most likely cause for the no start.I had a major transmission shop probably the biggest chain you could think of dont want to name names. They rebuilt the entire transmission because it was hard shifting so they brought it to me. Because it was still hard shifting after the rebuild. Took me 20 mins to figure out it had a bad pressure control solenoid which is a in car repair.

I just found out something, I had my neighbor to rescan it & their was no transmission code, I had it scaned at the shop last week because my check engine light was on, it was a bad o2 sensor, I think the guy at the shop gave me a fake code so I can come back for repairs I didn't need, I knew something was wrong because the transmission shifts perfect & smooth.

So was it a code P0133?If so you need a new o2 sensor that screws into the exhaust manifold. You can replace that yourself.

Thats a uncommon code for that car they usually always set the P0133 when the front o2 sensor goes bad.
