My saturn 98 sl wont start

Hi my car suddenly died while driving on a curve. My gas light was on and so I got a gallon and put it in. Whats happening is the key turns and it sounds normal as a car should when trying to start except when i press the gas pedal i do not hear a difference or feel anything else happening as if I was not pressing on the gas. However still trying, after holding the key to start the car for a min it starts to slow down and flash the battery sign. So I got a friend and jumped the car. Nothing happened but the battery light was coming on less if not at all. This was in the morning. I had replaced my fuel filter recently but its been working fine for over a month now until this. I personally do not think this is related. When put the key into its position before starting I hear a humming sound in the front end of the car but i always heard that. I never heard any humming in the back or by the gas tank... I listened today after braking down.

SOURCE: I posted this a little bit ago but forgot to

check to make sure yu have 12v at the battery, once you do turn the ignition to start, if nothing, check the fuse and relays that control ignition, if all is good then the click sound is coming from the starter, have the solenoid replace.

SOURCE: 1998 Saturn will not start.

try an old fashioned boost from another car using booster cables.or use a battery charger and allow it to charge for 30minutes. either way you choose,if you choose the boost off allow the booster car to run while cables are connected to your car battery,your battery may just be completely dead. after connecting the cables,positive to positive,and negative to negative,allow the booster car to run for 10minutes before you attempt to start your car.this will allow time for your car battery to slightly charge enough to start.if this does'nt work then check for a bad starter.hope this helps and thank you for choosing fixya.com

I had oil change in my saturn 2001 sl after the oil and security and airbag lights started to turn on after 2 days car started making a knocking sound while driving. and it died on me when im at a stop...

best advice here is to ask a local mechanic to have a look as engine shouldnt have started knocking with teh new oil in unless someone has put tranny fluid into teh engine or something stupid ,the lights for the airbag shouldnt be connected but the oil light ?? Do not drive car untill a mechanic has come around and checked it out for you though as this oil light coming on and knocking noise is serious

200 saturn sl. tank has 8 gallons fresh fuel. low fuel light wont go out. fuel gauge bounces up to 3/4 tank and then slowly drops down to empty

See if your leaking any gas by placing a box underneath the car, second your fuel float may be going inside the tank and or it could be a fuel pump or sending unit issue.
Call a junk yard or salvage place if you find you need parts..

95 saturn dies when stopping

give it a oil change and put a new fuel filter on it. you might have to change spark plugs and spark plug wires. also put some engine and fuel treatment. if that does not work put about 5 gallons of premium fuel in.
