    you need to read your 'question' and realize that no one can understand your issue as you have written it-it makes no sense.

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

SOURCE: just bought a 2000 saturn sl class. runs rough at

The problem here is the ECTS. Engine Coolant Temp. Sensor. It cost around $12 dollars and takes maybe 5 mins to fix with a 13mm socket. Saturn SL series built before november 2001 have a plastic ECTS. When you buy the new one make sure it has the brass tip as some parts stores still carry the cheap plastic one

Testimonial: "That was the problem. I called the dealer and thats what they told me. It runs great. I had to get a 13mm deep socket . $20 tool, $12 part. Thanx"

For an unknown reason the gearbox has put it's self into "Limp" mode, this could be die to an issue with a sensor or a clogged filter, Check the state of your fluid and it may need a filter change and a fluid flush.

Could be fuel or ignition. When is the last time you changed the fuel filter? I would start with a fuel pressure test.

Converter locks in and out between 35 and 55 mph

I assume you have checked the transmission fluid. Try changing the fuel filter. You wouldn't believe how often people confuse transmission problems with fuel filter problems. The engine is starving for fuel, and therefore, power, and the transmission does everything it can to try and find it.
