1)Reset the ignition timing to the manufacturer specifications.
2) Test the coil, ballast resistor, condenser, spark plug, spark wires, solenoide and starter motor very well. see the diagram attached.
God bless you

SOURCE: overdrive light comes on and wont go off till you turn off motor

First check that your fluid level is full thats running in park, second when you check the fluid see if its bright red or brownish in color if it's brown does it smell kinda like onions? if yes then replace all the transmisson fluid and filter, should be done every 30,000 miles if you change fluid and filter also add lucas transmisson condtioner, and tranny will take 12 quarts but if you have never done it take itto a tranny shop, they will charge about $150.00 more or less.

SOURCE: Fuel pressure intermittently drops causing sputter and die.

check for 12v constant at your fuel pump if you are not getting that replace your relay.
if you are getting 12 volts at your fuel pump the fuel pump is possible to run tuel it gets warm then shut down to a lower rpm I would then replace the fuel pump

SOURCE: heater blows cold air ,at idle and blower motor

the heater control valve is not opening all the way.
look under the hood on one on the heater hoses .
you should find a vaccum controled heater hose valve.
make sure your not low on coolant also.
also make sure none of the heater hoses are pinched off.

SOURCE: 97 Saturn sl2. Won't start after it gets warm.

It is your engine coolant temp sensor (ECTS). 99.9%. the saturn made them with a plastic tip, so they crack over time. A replacement should be about 15 bucks and not too hard to replace. You'll notice your engine temp gauge not working (always cold).

I don't know much about cars, but here's what happens. When your car is cold, the fuel runs rich. Your broken sensor is always reading that the engine is cold, but when it is warm, it runs too rich and floods your engine, not allowing it to start. When your engine is actually cold, everything is fine.

I just bought a 04 kia rio wagon , it idles good at first , but when you drive it for about 40 miles ,after it gets good and warmed up , the car will not idle , then when you let it sit for a few minutes ,...

I would look at the purge valve, EGR valve and all the vacuum lines to start. It sounds like a vacuum leak. Some that is closed at start up and opens after it is warm, but not shutting back off as the engine idles down. this causes to much air in to the engine and will cause it to idle bad or keep shutting off on you at idle only

Kia rio 02 died while driving down highway

The battery is only use to start the car, once the car is moving the alternator takes over and charges the battery. I sounds like the alternator is bad. You take the alternator to Napa, Auto Zone or Advance auto part and have them check it for you.
