Have you looked at your engine coolant temperature sensor, it usually cracks and causes starting and running problems. Its resin tipped and the replacement is brass while the two-wire connector being corroded needs replacement too, from a junk yard air temp sensor or the dealer's $30 stock. Check out these picture procedures; http://www.saturnfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37884
