My 94 SW1 did the same thing, that is the same basic engine but a SOHC. I replaced the crank position sensor which is in the block behind the starter and the problem went away. There are most likely other problems which can cause stalling, vapor lock due to bad gas cap for one, but mine was fixed by replacing the sensor. Bit of problem getting to it, but you were already in the area when you replaced the fuel filter.

Where is the crank position sensor located?

its not your crank positioning sensor. all the CPS does is control your spark plugs up to around 500 rpms (while trying to start) once started the ECM takes over that function in conjuction with your cam position sensor

I am having a few issues with my 1992 Saturn... One I think the Fuel filter needs to be replaced, Where is this fuel filter located? Sometimes my key will not come out after turning engine off, I have to...

Whom ever told you that the Saturn's where hard to find parts for it is wrong. I used to own a 1992 Saturn SL1, and had no problem finding parts at the local Autozone or Napa stores.
I believe that your fuel filter is either located on the frame rail just under between the drivers and rear seats; or possibly under the hood in-line just before the fuel rails/ injectors. I wish I would have never gotten rid of mine, it was a great little car.

mine would do th same i would die after it would warm up it ended up being the control module for your ignition replaced that after the plugs and plug wires works like a champ

1992 Saturn SL2 stalls after running about 5 minutes

my only guess is a vacuum hose leak. possibly a loose air filter housing, or the mass air flow sensor. look for any hoses unplugged. if nothing is noticed, try cleaning out your fuel system. if that doesnt solve it, then it would be something an experienced mechanic would have to come and examine it personally.

Car dies while driving

It could be something as simple as a bad or loose ground wire but the hard part is finding it.

92 honda accord lx dies when put on brakes at a stop

Sounds like your timing belt is one tooth off on the cam, this I have seen before especially if it is a twin overhead cam. One tooth off will make it idle really low when stopping at the light especially if the engine is warm.
