My 1999 sw2 died in traffic at approximately 30 minutes into the ride home last tuesday. It started the next day like there was nothing wrong with it. It sure "acted" like fuel starvation. I got it home and parked it.... took my Chrysler van to work since then.
Tonight I took it for a ride, not straying too far from home. at exactly 32 minutes it did it again! It's now sitting in a restaurant parking lot.
When I bought the car new in 1999, I seem to remember the dealer telling me something about a passive theft system that shuts the fuel off if the car thinks it's been "compromised". I don't have any documentation on it and can't find any on the net, except that many cars around this time had it.
sound right? can I get a saturn dealer to disable it if it is faulty.... gonna be real annoying not being able to drive it more than 32 minutes at a time! work is 35-40!
Thanks
Tom
