    94 Saturn died when driving
    Hi all,

    My car is a 94 Saturn. It has been working fine since I have it (for 2 years). Regular maitainence. Recently after a long trip (12 hours/1way), it sounds louder when running, sounds like the noise comes from the rubber belt under the hood. But still doing fine. Engine sounds fine.

    2 days a go, when I took it out and drove for a mile or two, then I got slow down for a red light, it suddenly died. The car light was still on, batter appeared to be week but still stayed in green (regular) region.

    I tried to start it again, but heard no cranking noise nor ssss (the noise it makes before the engine fires ).

    What is wrong with it? Stater? Alternator? Or igniter?

    . Ensure battery is fully charged--replace, if necessary. Clean battery terminals and cables.
    . Test all under-hood and under-dash fuses with a test light or multimeter:

    . If starter motor won't crank:

    . Test for spark. If none, test/replace the ignitor and coil pack.
    . Test for fuel.
