98 saturn sl runs fine for a week or two, then stalls and wont restart. Sometimes it will start after a few hours, sometimes it wont start for 3-4 weeks. We have replaced the alternator, starter, ignition module, thermostat, fuel pump and relays. I'm pulling my hair out, any ideas guys?

Have your battery checked,sometimes when we fix the charging problem we over look the battery.if it was damaged from the alternator being bad and it was not recharged properly then is can be broken inside.you can not see this.a load test on the battery will show this damage.

What can cause a 98 Saturn SL to slam into reverse

Hi

Check the air mass sensor, clean it with carb cleaner and then refit if you need info on how to do this let me know. the clunk into gear is only because the car is stalling most likely.

Let me know if you need more info?

Regards

My saturn 2001 stalls at stop lights when in idle

You can't afford to not take it to a Saturn dealer. Look at all the worry your going through not to mention possibly lost time from your job. I had the same problems with my 98 SL1. First time it went to the Saturn dealer they diagnosed a bad coolent tempurature sensor. The car was fine for about 2 months then it would start and then stall bfore I could get out of the driveway. This time the dealer diagnosed a bad crank position sensor. That was 3 years ago and the car has run well since. I believe your car could have one of these problems (maybe both). Take it to the dealer. They probably see Saturns with these problems every week and will know how to fix them.
