Tip: The max point reward for answering a question is 15.
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.
Sounds like your water pump is leaking and requires replacement. Not a terribly hard job with the right tools. Probably take about an hour or two to replace. Make sure you use sealant (RTV, orange stuff) when putting it back.
