Hello,

I have a 1997 Saturn SW2 that runs great, except for one problem:

--If I turn the ignition once to start the car, it chugs but down not turn over.
--If I try starting the car again - 30 seconds later - it turns over immediately.

I am becoming more concerned about this because I have had to try 2 times occasionally to get the car to turn over.

I have had the distributor cap, connecting wires and the spark plugs changed within the last month and still the problem remains.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
