It's the security system. You'll notice when you try and start it, if the problem is happening, the security light on the dash will be blinking. The remote won't reset the security system. You have to wait the full ten minutes and it can be very annoying. I think it has something to do with the driver's seatbelt switch. There is a double wire under the seat that goes to the seat belt buckle. Mine was cut and taped back together. I think the switch in the buckle gets dirty. Try squirting some WD-40 in the buckle. Also try to not be in too much of a hurry when you jump in and start it because that's when it happens, then you're gonna be ten minutes late anyway. I just get in mine, sit down, and wait a second before I try to start it. Haven't had the problem for some time now.

SOURCE: spark plugs on 2002 Saturn vue

just completed a plug removal and install on my '02 awd v6. if you have the time and patience it's straight forward; common sense was most helpful. to gain access to the plugs, both fore and aft, you must remove, in short, everything near to, associated with, the air intake system. common tools plus a 1/4 socket, with 8 inch extension to hold a #10 star bit. these star bolts are under the rectangular plastic plate atop the intake. once you have those out, disconnect all the wiring, carefully. lift the intake out, look for plug covers, fore and aft, ignition assembly lays atop each row of three plugs. with the hands of a surgeon, remove the ignition assembly, and by golly ye shall see your reward. easy from then on.
replaced my plugs with the iridium 'honeys'; marked improvement in starting, acceleration, smoothnes, noise, and gas mileage to the value of + 3.0%. changed out the oil with mobile1 extended performance, changed transmission fluid. took a shower. time involved, 7.0 hrs. dealer be damned,,priceless!

SOURCE: fuel gauge

The fuel tank has 2 different fuel level senders(floats) It needs both of them. You have to drop the tank, and pull the pumps.

SOURCE: 2002 Saturn Vue V6 Loss of Power

Yup. The throttle body connectors have a history of failing on these cars. Replace the throttle body and the wire connectors that go to it, and you're back in business. Not terribly difficult and you can get the parts from any dealer. Saturn actually has a bulletin out on this problem but they won't cover it unless you're under warranty - no recall for this.
