Your vehicle has electronic throttle control an the Throttle position sensor's are internal to the throttle body assembly ! Your vehicle has two throttle position sensors .
Throttle Body Assembly
The throttle assembly contains the following components:
?€¢ The throttle blade ?€¢ The throttle actuator motor ?€¢ The throttle position (TP) sensor 1 and 2 You have to replace the Throttle Body Assembly !
Disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the inlet hose assembly from the throttle body. Disconnect the throttle body electrical connection. Disconnect the hose clamps from the plenum-to-runner connector using theJ 43914 .
Remove the intake plenum bolts. Remove the EGR passage bolt. Rotate the plenum up and remove the throttle body coolant hoses, EVAP hose, and vacuum line from the throttle body.

SOURCE: Saturn 2003 L300 quits running and takes about 30

Start with the simple by replacing your fuel filter, but most likely it's going to be your fuel pump that will need to be replaced soon. It's common for the fuel pump on the Saturn's to go weak after a few years, the piston and the cylinder sleeves after a few years wear and the clearance is much grater when the pump heats up.
The extra clearance will cause the fuel pressure to drop just enough to keep the fuel injectors from working. Once the pump has cooled down enough for the piston and cylinder sleeves to create enough fuel pressure, your engine can run again.
You may get luck as mentioned to start with the simple and replace your fuel filter first, then the fuel pump if that did not help.
Thank you for using fixya and good luck

2003 Saturn L300 3.0 V6

Well, I can read it. Engine cranking, visually check for spark at the plugs, also. I'm trying to figure if you have more than one problem? At your data link connector, pin 16 should have voltage all the time. Use a test lite to check for voltage. If no voltage the scanner or code reader won't work.
To see if computer is awake, turn on the key, check any sensor that has a ref voltage, check it, if you have ref voltage, the computer should be awake.

My 2003 L300 Saturn is shutting off while I am driving. It will eventually start but usually I have to wait anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours before the car will start. I have had many problems - so far...

I've read that these symptoms can be caused by a bad crank position sensor. It is right by the oil filter housing. Maybe it was damaged during the oil change.

I need to replace the crank sensor on a 2004 saturn l300 3.0

If you lay on your back and slide under the front bumper just past the radiator you will see the oil filter housing. It is on the block next to the filter housing on the right side That is where it is on my 2003 l300.

Driving lights flickering

the car needs a body control module. if you try to replace it yourself the car will not run, it needs to be programed by the dealer.
