in have had my car for about 3 months now. recently i put a 2.5" magnaflow muffler on it and the k&n typhoon intake... since these additions i have been having major problems wit my car and most of wuts happening i do not think it has nething to do wit wut i put on my car...ok heres the list mayb u guys can help me plz
-across the digital screen that displys ur miles power steering pops up bout every 5 min i drive, and coolant popped on a few times when i was driving also
-my starter is goin....already?...
-at random times my E brake light pops on when im driving and my E brake isnt even up, along wit my ABS that flashes as well wit my E brake
-it has misfired also here and there
-my rpm gauge doesnt flow wit wut i do wit the gas pedal is goes up n down in chunks sumtimes along wit my speedometer
-i found a huge hole in one of the vaccum lines goin from the motor to sum adapter( cant b sure what its called) and there was enuff slack on it to cut off the hole and reconnect it...but y the hole in the first place?
-and my car idles real badly sumtimes when im in place in neutral not moving it'll flutter up n down from 500-1200 rpms n my foot isnt on the gas
- n on top of it all my check engine is either on sumtimes or it flickers , but that only happened once or twice im gettin a lil agravated

You don't need to take any of those things off. Go in, and get the car checked. Who knows, that a long list of symptoms, maybe your whole ECU is bad. I'd take it in ASAP. The worst they can do to you for the intake, is say that your MAF sensor is bad, and your issues are related to it. They can blame it on the intake, but a sensor is like $70. That's the worst they can do, as far as I can see.

I would feel out the dealer about the K&N, but the exhuast shouldn't be a problem. But I dont think some of those problems have anything do to with your mods. Check with the dealer about the flash. Sounds like a good place start.

Forgive me for being brutally honest here, but I have to ask....where did all the brain cells go? Dude...if you spend that much money on something, you want it to work, and work well. It's still under warranty, and the K&N is not going to fry anything to do with your steering, brakes, coolant or whatever else for systems that's popping up. Saturn has to cover the warranty on those items. Take it straight to the dealer.....make that your next stop. If you don't get it looked at, you may find that you have a more serious problem that will cause long term damage. Git Er Done!....By the way, you type like my 15 year old daughter. What's up with that?

ok from what u said it sounds like your BCM is shoot... from the lights on the cluster being messed up and for the engine.. i have no clue their.. mabey your maf is fried and u can't tell cause your BCM wont display the ses light.. thats just all guesses but thats what i'm thinking the problem is.. the maf will also make u misfire if u don't have it working properly

Damn, man, Kevined Wards has it right. Get to the stealership ASAP. Get to know the service techs, they are your new friends. The E-brake light isn't an E-brake light. It's the brake warning light. If your E-brake is down and that light is on you need to check your brake fluid ASAP!!!! If it's low check for a leak, or have the dealership tow it in for you. RPM gauge = tachiomenometer.

Bad idle is the least of your problems.

That bitch was sabotaged!!
