Yup. The throttle body connectors have a history of failing on these cars. Replace the throttle body and the wire connectors that go to it, and you're back in business. Not terribly difficult and you can get the parts from any dealer. Saturn actually has a bulletin out on this problem but they won't cover it unless you're under warranty - no recall for this.

You are not the only one. Ive met a good many of Saturn owners (most were 2001 L300 drivers) but they were plagued with the problem you have and practically identical codes. The following remedies have been known to work:
1. Replacement Battery Cable
2.Replacement ECU Wiring Harness
3. Replacement of ECU

I would take the vehicle to a local auto parts store that will put there scan tool on the car to find out what code was stored. Maybe they will have some possible parts that could be the problem.
Hope this helps some

SOURCE: 96 Saturn Sc1 does not start after you turn it off
I had that problem with my 87 van.The gage they used showed it had enough amps but she still wouldn't start. I had to get a better battery. Mine had enough to run it till I stopped one time. Then I had to wait for awhile before it would start again. I have not had any trouble since I got the new battery. No one ever found out why the other battery tested ok or wouldn't start after one trip anywhere.
SOURCE: reduced power for real!!!!
I had the same thing happen to me yesterday. Sitting at a light, went to accellerate and would barely move. The same lights came on for me too. I had it towed to the Saturn dealership and they tell me it's the computer control for the transmission. It's going to cost me in excess of $950.00 to replace. I did a little research and apparently this is an ogoing problem with 2003 Vues.
