2002 Saturn SC1 - Starts fine and runs well until the engine gets warm. Then I will step on the gas peddle and the engine will die. Sometimes it won't die it will just have no power to move. Fuel Pump? Fuel Filter? Sensor? I need some help please!

Most Likely Coolant temp sensor & connector.Located in cyclinder head under upper radiatior hose.Two wires to connector yellow & black.Replacement sensor is brass (from saturn) Original is ceramic & cracks cause poor performance,stalling,idle issues.Also check plugs & wires for carbon tracking.Replace plugs & wires as a set all at once.Hope this helps

2002 dodge ram won't start if you step on gas peddle before starting it. What causes this? If you wait a couple of hours it will then start

Fuel injected engines don't need to be pumped before starting, if you do flooding can occur. Make a conscious effort NOT to touch the pedal until after you turn the key to the start position and the engine actually starts.

2001 saturn sc1.Sometimes engine wont crank over.This happens most of the time when engine is warm.The battery is good and so are connections.When i try later or next day it starts right up

check the connection to the starter located at the back of the engine (you have to get at it underneath), mine does the same thing i cleaned the connections and put some lube on the starter gear and it works like a charm now
