It sounds like it is overheating. There is a thermal switch that shuts the motor off if it gets too hot. This may be because the motor is pulling too many amps due to a bad winding or the bearings are starting to seize. The best solution is to replace the motor.

Pump runs for about 3min and shuts off/

That's the motors internal thermal switch doing its job. For some reason your motor is running hot. With the breaker off, remove the end cap on the back of the motor and use a 9/16 open ended wrench to see if the motor shaft turns freely. If it doesn't there may be some debris jammed at the impeller, or the bearings may be failing.
If the shaft moves freely the problem is probably internal to the motor. Usually a bad winding, Northstar pump motors average about 4-5 years, so if it is older than that or getting close the best bet is replacement.

After it as rained all night, I try to start my Saturn SW2 1999 in the morning and the RPM goes up to 3000 and if I put it on drive it will shut off. If I let it run 3min. and shut it off then turn it on...

when u start it up let it run for a second then tap the gas let it idle down then put it in gear. it should run fine then. but its a setup in the staurn comp. its a constant cold start method.
