Hi:

If this is an automatic transmission, it sounds like a transmission problem.

Yes, it is a automatic But the trans shifts fine thru all the gears. Can it be something with the carb or something

 

[Basementgeek]

So one else may have an idea, but I am still leaning towards a transmission problem

Car won't have a carb. Is the check engine light on? If it is, have the coded pulled and post the numbers here.

Hi Biegz

Lubricate the throttle cable it could be binding.

 

[Biegz]

It is showing these two codes: PO133 & PO341

 

[octaneman]

P0133 is the heated oxygen sensor code and the P0341 is the cam sensor code. Saturn's however do not have a cam sensor, the problem your having is most likely a vacuum leak that is causing your RPM's to soar. Look around the engine for any broken or dried out vacuum hoses replace as needed. Do a thorough inspection on the ignition wires and on top of the coil towers for any corrosion, if corrosion is found replace your coil.


Note: If code P0341 is constant then there is a problem with the ground side of the ignition module.

My OBDII book indicates the P0341 is a camshaft position sensor problem. Could be caused by plugs, plug wires, or coil packs.

The P0133 is for the front oxygen sensor.

Sounds like it's not shifting into OD (Over Drive).......do you have an OD over-ride?? I have a button on the end of my shifter that I can control the OD and prevent the tranny from making that last shift into lock-up (OD).

I'm seeing suggestions to check the fuses in the under-hood fuse panel (near the battery) and check any fuse relating to TRS or TCC. The fuse locations should be listed on the fuse panel cover.
