I started to hear some noise as muffle problem. In fact there was a hole in it, but it was fixed. The noise still continues neaby the engine. Then I took the car to a garage and after they check it they told me the problem is about the main muffle broken and intake.
Other simptoms: when I put it in reverse I need to acelerate deep so that the car start to move hardly. Even when it runs forward (D speed) it is too slow; now it stops suddenly when the speed increases.
Please I need some help to judge if it is necessary to fix this problem or get another car.
Thanks a lot.
Take a look at the spark plugs then from there you shall decide what to do

One question, have you replaced the ECTS (Electronic Cooling Temperature Sensor)? These cause no end of different seemingly unrelated problems on Saturns. Peice is about ten bucks and is an easy install. Just search on youtube for a how-to video. Even if that's not the problem it is reccommended to replace this peice just the same as they ALL end up going bad at some point.
If that's not a fix, start pulling plugs. Check to see if they're correctly gapped and if they have any damage/corrosion. If you're running Platinum plugs, immediatly change to a copper plug as Platinums have no place in these motors. Most people have the best luck with NGK copper.
Check to make sure that your plug wires haven't been crossed. This sounds like a plug or wire issue most likely so it has to be in that family, if the plugs are good, wires good and not crossed, sensors are fine, then time to replace your coil packs. If you've replaced everything up to the coil packs then that is most likely the cause of your dillema.

its proberly what they call a secondary air intake pump - what this does is increase the air flow only on cold start up - the colder it is the longer it stays on - if the noise gets louder and you will notice - get it changed - we have the same problem over here on the vauxhall omega and corsa's - bless em got to be GM

the grinding grating rattling annoying sound is yor axles (velocity joint) it could be a simple thing as the boot rubber poping out and the grease spilled off or the bearing is shelling. In any case have the joint repaired or replaced. After this you will need to align as the changing or removing of the joint messes the alignment up.

If the transmission is not hurt, it may just be a simple fix by replacing the reverse solenoid. The bad news is that it's in the valve body in the transmission, if there is an Auto Zone around your area, have them scan the cart for any DTC codes and hope that there is a code in the history that relates to the transmission issue. Auto Zone scan free of charge and if there is a transmission code, that would help address the transmission issue and if it's just a reverse solenoid. That's good news, since it cost just a little more then a transmission oil and filter change. Good luck and hope this helps. Keep me posted, be glad to help you get your car running 100% again soon.
