Sitting for long time a car can build up condensation(moisture) on wires and fuel system and make it "MIss" or shake this usually goes away after engine comes to operatating temperature

if it's shaking so bad it looks like it's comming out of there Motor mounts are worn /broken and sorry to say that was a common problem with those cars
after they had a some long miles put on them
that's gonna need a mechanic to replace them

SOURCE: Cannot locate oil drain plug on 2004 Saturn Vue

It is probably a bit different on the 4-cyl engines than the V6 engines. I'll assume you have the V6 for the moment since those seemed to be more popular.

On the 3.5L V6, the drain plug is behind the passenger side wheel well and I believe takes a 17mm socket/wrench to remove.

SOURCE: what does po440 on a 2003 saturn vue mean with a

That is a problem in the evaporative emission control system.
Could be anything causing it
Clogged filter in the charcoal canister
A leak in one of the vacuum lines
The purge valve not working,,,etc.
The best thing is to take it and have it checked out, they might have to do a smoke test to find the problem.
All they do is inject smoke into the system, if there is a leak the smoke will come out of it. All it takes is a pin hole in these emission systems to screw it all up.

My miles gauge stop working in my 03 Saturn vue

So does the Trip odometer work? Does the odometer work? If you answer is "sort of", does the odometer return to the same mileage every time your 2003 Saturn VUE sits overnight? The VUE has an all electronic odometer sensor that is in the transmission, so you may need to replace that. I also agree with JDCamped that those wires may need replaced, but the mice? I would think burned/shorted in a wiring harnes is far more common and you should see a "Check Engine" light. The cluster just shows the data from the sensors, if they are blank, then that is the cluster.

The P0304 indicates the #4 cylinder is misfiring. The flashing light means the cylinder is not firing at all...It could be several things causeing it, coil, wires, plug, injector or vacuum leak. Do not drive your vehicle until you have this repaired, as it will lead to further more costly problems. Good luck, i hope this helps.

While driving into work today my vue would rumble or shutter when I hit 55 mph. There were no issues or sounds driving at 50 or lower. This morning was the first sign of this. I live near buffalo and over...

First off, i'm sorry to hear you have a 2003 vue, unfortunate.

Second, when was the last time you've had an alignment done? high speed shaking is often a symptom of misalignment. Is the shaking coming from the engine or from the frame/suspension? If you can narrow it down to one of those the problem and solution should be easier to find.

I have a 2003 saturn vue v6, the engine cuts off as soon as i turn on the headlight or the heater, i just replaced the battery.

Sound like a bad alternator, if you had a battery light on it's bad. Start engine with an voltmeter check voltage at battery if you have less then 12.8 volts bad alternator, should have 13.5 - 14.5 volt's.Hope this was helpful.

Hood latch problem on 2003 saturn vue

cable is a little worn,but what you can do is open the hood.on each side or the core support,its the long piece that is above the radiator are 2 black rubber hood stops,you can try bringing them up a little at a time(3/4-1 turn)equally as this will put more pressure on the hood and should pop right open.It may take mor ore less than the turns I said,also lube the hood latch with some good lube not WD-40 hope it works have a good day DB
