I'm sorry to hear that. Did he tell you what codes were in it? Do you live near a autozone or somewhere they can check the codes for free. Or maybe you can call the person up and ask what codes are in the car. But it sounds like you are having a miss fire problem. If the check engine light is flashing it is not a good idea to drive it. Try to get the codes and post them please.

One question, have you replaced the ECTS (Electronic Cooling Temperature Sensor)? These cause no end of different seemingly unrelated problems on Saturns. Peice is about ten bucks and is an easy install. Just search on youtube for a how-to video. Even if that's not the problem it is reccommended to replace this peice just the same as they ALL end up going bad at some point.
If that's not a fix, start pulling plugs. Check to see if they're correctly gapped and if they have any damage/corrosion. If you're running Platinum plugs, immediatly change to a copper plug as Platinums have no place in these motors. Most people have the best luck with NGK copper.
Check to make sure that your plug wires haven't been crossed. This sounds like a plug or wire issue most likely so it has to be in that family, if the plugs are good, wires good and not crossed, sensors are fine, then time to replace your coil packs. If you've replaced everything up to the coil packs then that is most likely the cause of your dillema.

They have a recall update on torque converter shutter, if update has been installed or problem still exist then the torque converter needs replaced
SOURCE: check engine light flashing, car shaking and smells like gas
it could be anything have the code checked odds are it is a bad sensor

havent a clue here ,one cylinder now another missing ,only one thing comes to mind here and thats the coil pack ,check the voltage across the battery with engine running at 1500rpm and if its higher than 15.5 volts of their abouts then the alternator regulator is playing up and this would cause problems with the coil pack or the ECU ,also the radio could blow and lots of bulbs.Other that this i would need to get my greasy hands on it and give the magic hammer treatment

You still need to replace the plugs and wires regardless of the visual appearance. If it persists then a compression test and fuel injector swap is needed. If it persists then more expensive parts and tests are needed to see if it s internal engine issue or lean running issue or clogged EGR port.
