check engine light is not on.from my understanding 1995 had limited codes and descriptions. my mechanic says it could be costly because he can't get a read on what is causing problem. paid 1500.00 for car .how much do i want to spend to fix it is his question.

1992 Saturn SC2, 123k miles. The car was bought a few months ago, and has run fine for short trips, and an occasional joy ride. About 2 weeks ago, I though I got some slug gas, and have been putting HEET, that seemed to work. The car runs great, then has trouble staying lit, and seems to lose revs to either dying, or coming damn close. Only occurs after has already had "a good run", and been turned off for a bit. Only happens whith initial push on gas pedal, and when down shifting..automatic 1 answer
