I assume you are taking about an automatic transmission. There are 2 main reasons why this is not working. 1 The transmission oil is overdue to be charged. 2 There is a leak on one of the galleries inside the gearbox.
The misfire could be a multitude of problems that may only be traced by plunging into a computer. This will cost you money by the garage, but could save you a fortune on lost time and you will be free to change what only needs to be changed by yourself saving on garage fees and parts. If you do this by a process of ilimination you may be buying expensive parts you don't need and still not solve the problem.
SOURCE: will not start after it stalls untill about 5-10 minutes
Your problem is most likey your intake gasket.They have a problems on the SOHC engines where the intake gasket shifts & starts leaking vacuum at the #1 intake runner causing a missfire on Cylinder #1.While the engine is Idling buy some throttle plate cleaner & spray throttle cleaner down at the #1 Intake runner where the intake meets the head.If engine stalls or runs rougher that's your problem.I have replaced dozens of those gaskets for tha reason!! They have a beter design gasket through saturn parts.It has a coating on it to prevent reoccurance.Also you should check you Coolant Temp Sensor,if it's ceramic it's most likely bad.Replacement is brass from saturn.Good Luck

take it to a 'jiffy lube' place and pay them to do it.Will probably cost $29.

The keys on this vehicle have a problem with wearing down to the point where it's a pain to get them to work in the ignition cylinder. Examine your keys for wear and that may have been your problem since day one.
I have a 2004 Vue and I have the only key I got with it (used car) worn down to the point where it will no longer work in the back door and is a pain to use in the ignition cylinder. It also falls right out of the ignition cylinder when the car is running. I have a copy of the key that was made when I got the car which works just fine and doesn't fall out, and looking at the two side by side, you can see that Saturn's key has worn down substantially since I got it two years ago.
SOURCE: 2004 Saturn VUE (M/T) STEADY service engine soon light
SOME TIME PCM GET A VOLTAGE SPIKE.OR ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE WILL CAUSE SERVICE LIGHT TO COME ON WITH NO CODES.IF IT KEEP HAPPENING TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP TO CHECK IT OUT.
SOURCE: does anybody know if or where the transmission
If you do not see it in the usual location between engine & transmission,out of the transmission, it is a sealed system. You need to go to a dealer or shop to have it checked. It has a special procedure to check & refill it.
