    NOTE: To prevent bending of the sending unit float arm, lift the pump module up slightly to disengage the orientation tabs in the tank. Rotate the module 90 degrees clockwise until the fuel lines are facing the 1 o'clock position.

My 2001 saturn s series car died on me a couple months ago, i thought it had simply ran out of gas, so i put more gas in it to try to restart it, i found that it will fire, but not start, i could not hear...

Hi :) That starting system has a coil pack and if one side stops working the engine only fire on 1-3 or 2-4 which make the engine shake and not start.There should be a crank senor that could be on its way out. and check the relays in the black box buy the battery there is one for the fuel pump and pre start pump.

I have had fuel pump problem with my 2001 saturn 3 times since i purchase it. Is this a common problem with saturns

Unlees you are always running the fuel tank low, NO, this is not a common problem. When the fuel pump was replaced, what was the reason given? In short, what was the fuel pressure at the time when it was decided to replace it? Was there a diagnostic code stored in the PCM memory? Check engine light on? Was the vehicle ever run dry of fuel?

I have a 2001 saturn that ran out of gas put gas in it wont fire up checked the fuel line presure release no gas in the line checked fuse all good..... do you think its the fuel pump?

THE ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP IN THIS CAR IS IN THE GAS TANK AND IT IS COOLED BY THE FUEL IT RUNS IN, WHEN U RUN OUT OF GAS YOU SEVERLY OVERHEAT THE PUMP AND THEY SEIZE UP, WHICH IS WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOUR PUMP, U WILL NEED TO REMOVE THE GAS TANK AND REPLACE THE ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP.
