it is inside the gas tank, like about everything made since 1991. you have to remove the tank, kind of a messy and complicated task, plus all the mounting hardware is rusted tight and will break off in your hands. get a repair manual on eBay for about 5 bucks, read it and think about it before you start tearing things out.
the car is worth about 500 bucks, a new pump is about half that much. you might want to think about buying a 99 saturn with lower mileage instead of fixing that one. i had 4 of them and in my humble opinion the best saturn ever was a 99 stick wagon. i am sure the sedan was just as good and there are many out there.
the fuel pump is located inside the gas tank. You have to lower the gas tank, unlock the ring that holds it in, unhook the wires and fuel lines, and then you can lift it out.
yes the fuel pump is inside the tank and checkout the fuel pump relay and the fuse for the sending unit first and try these websites to get more information on your car its www.autozone.com and www.alldatadiy.com and if all fails stop by your local library and get your hands on a Haynes auto repair manual for your car also try so STP gas treatment in the gas tank if the car run better replace the fuel filter and i wish you the best of luck Michigan Man.
Believe it or not...I have seen these kinds of things happen because of the Coolant temp sensor. It tells the PCM that the engine is cold so it strengthens the fuel delivery and mixture...Its an easy and cheep fix...9 or ten dollars for the sensor and a little for the antifreez. Make sure the engine is cool before trying this. The sensor on a1.9l is located on the right side of the head just above the trasaxle bell housing...it should have a two wire connector...be careful no to over tighten, the sensor is BRASS and the head is ALUMINUM!!
