I have a 2000 Saturn SL sedan with 147,000 miles. Does I have to use Platinum spark plugs in my Saturn? I was told this by an auto mechanic. He told me that the Saturn (engine) runs too hot for regular (dopper) plugs. Please confirm

You first have to find out if it is a "sl1" or a "sl2", the waway you can tell is the SL1 has the spark plugs on the side of the head and the SL2 has the plugs in the top of the head through the valve cover gasket. once you know which one you have ask your locale General Motors dealer for the part # for factory (AC Delco) plugs. Once you know that you will be able to find the right spark plugs at a part store of your choosing. it will be the right plug but different stores charge different prices for the same part.

98 Saturn SL AC/cooling fan will NOT work

Do not let this car over heat a blown head gasket will ensue. Locate and replace the fan relay, if that doesn't fix the problem unplug fan and use jumper wires to ground the plug then feed power to the positive side of plug to check fan, if that doesn't work replace the coolant temperature sensor located somewhere near the intake manifold or thermostat housing area.

Engine is skipping when accelerating

You only have 4 so better just do a tune up and change the plug and wires, but one at a time so you don't get them crossed when re-installing the new plugs and wire.
Use Platinum plugs since there good for 100,000 miles which mean less maintenance, and double check that the spark plug boots set to the plugs when re-installed.
Run some fuel injector cleaner through the gas tank for about a week to to clean out your fuel system and hope fully the skipping stops.
If your going to get all the goodys at Auto Zone, have them scan the car for any DTC codes since it's free and see if there are other issues that is causing the skipping like a bad signal from the MAP sensor ECT.
Good luck and keep me posted.
