My 2000 Saturn SL started stalling at intersections . This only started to happen after the car was warm, but it became more and more difficult to keep it from stalling. It has a 5 speed manual transmission, so I had to put it in neutral and give it gas to keep the idle up. This happened last year, and the thermostat had to be replaced because the car was running too cold, but this is no longer the problem. Help?

Pour the fuel injection cleaner to it....sounds like the injectors are dirty.....

check and see where he jacked the car up. he could have smashed the fuel lines

First, if the SES light is on or comes on a little after it is running it has a code set in the computer. Itis easy to read the code on an OBD1 system by jumping the A-B terminals on the DLC Data Link, block under the drivers side see the following link for better explanination of reading the codes, http://www.troublecodes.net/GM/
Also review the following on the O2 Sensor and coolent temp sensor http://www.saturnfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37884 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQ9vtD_ssjg, good luck you can fix this vehicle easily.

sounds like you have some bad injectors. if your smelling fuel it sound like one of them are stuck open. that would cause it to run rough. i think the injectors are like 35 each i would put them in and run a fuel system cleaner and put a new fuel filter when you do all that.. if you do it yourself it should run you about 180 to 200. Its not that hard to do. If a shop was to do it it could cost up to 500

I am not completely familiar with the Saturn car lineup, but I will offer some information for the problem at hand.
It sounds like it has to do with something called a "Throttle Position Sensor". Again, Saturn may call it something different. On some vehicles, the TPS works in conjunction with a module near the cooling (radiator) system. As the car and coolant warm up, a springloaded device inside the module is pushed up allowing it to touch electrical connections. When these nodes are touched, completing the electrical circuit, it sends the information to the TPS telling it to lower the idle speed. If the TPS is faulty, then it will idle wildly as it warms up.
This may not be the case for your Saturn, but it sounds very familiar to a problem I had with a Ford and a Toyota.
Good Luck!
