    I have same issue. Car runs fine, then dies like its out of gas. Cranks but won't start. If I wait a few hours it will start fine but fail at unpredictable intervals. Happens day or night, hot or cold, engine well warmed up or barely warmed.

    First run a trouble code test, then if no codes run a fuel pressure test when it stalls, get back to me.

I had a 1983 Nissan Sentra with the same problem. Nissan and a host of mechanics couldn't find the problem. Finally a new mechanic I went to for maintenance told me it is probably the oil pump. He changed it and hadn't had a problem for years until I got rid of it.

Never allow Saturn touch a Saturn.
During the oil change, the Saturn dealer loosened the center positive electrical battery cable at the main fuse box, drivers side, under hood.
The loose positive cable results in an electrical surge that wipes out the cps.
The new cps is only avaqilable from Saturn.
When the new cps is delivered, one electrical pen will be bend down and must be straightened prior to insertion of male and female electrical connector to the cps. Otherwise the new cps will fail.
Be certain to tighten the center positive post of three that secure the main fuse box in place. The center post must be tightened to ensure the new cps is not destroyed by subsequent electrical surges which result when Saturn Dealer loosens the center fuse box post.

2003 SATURN VUE SERIVE ENGINE SOON LIGHT IS BLINKING ON AND OFF RAN THE OBDII READER AND CODE P0304 CYLINDER MISFIRE CAME UP I CHANGE SPARK PLUGS AND BOOTS BUT CAR STILL DRIVES ROUGH SHAKES AND WHEN PARKED...

The P0304 indicates the #4 cylinder is misfiring. The flashing light means the cylinder is not firing at all...It could be several things causeing it, coil, wires, plug, injector or vacuum leak. Do not drive your vehicle until you have this repaired, as it will lead to further more costly problems. Good luck, i hope this helps.

Where is the fuel filter on a 2004 saturn vue 3.5L? The car quit running this morning, tried to start back up but stalled again. Starts with starter fluid, but stalls. Dealer said try the fuel filter...

It is part of the fuel pump module inside the fuel tank, all the cars are starting to use this type of setup, the filter is only serviced when the fuel pump fails.

Ok i got a 2002 saturn vue..code was saying bank 1 bank 2 running lean..the vue runs perfect ,sometime at park it would idle hi.anyways i have replaced the mass air flow unit..turn off light,comes back on...

I had exactly the same problem .Mine was corrected with replacing the O2 sensors .The sensors cost less than $30 each but cost about 20 mins labor per sensor .So if you got an honest mechanic the total cost will be around $130 .

I tried changing a fuel filter on a 2002 saturn vue and the line wouldn't quit leaking? I pulled off the fuel pump relay and let it run out of gas before I started but it still wouldn't stop leaking? What...

When you change these fuel filters, they are basically gravity fed from the tank if the tank is full enough.You sometimes have to just hurry up in the fuel filter install process and slip that filter back in quickly, a little bit(sometimes more) will be spillled on the ground, can catch it with a drain catch bucket.Any questions get back to me, I HOPE I COULD HELP!!!

Fuel filter

You have to use a special pair of pliers that have pointed tips on them to reach into the line openings & depress the the 2 green tabs while pushing inward on the line.Once you have them pressed in the line should pull back & disconnect.hope this helps

2002 Saturn Vue V-6 stalls and taks afew minutes to restart.No check engine light. What is the cause

With no engine codes, there are a few things to check.
If your Saturn has over 50K a normal maintenance routine should include a fuel filter replacement, fuel injector cleaning and throttle body cleaning.
If that has been performed, you should have the fuel pump pressure checked. A good pressure reading should be 50 to 60 lbs. If it does not meet that specification, you need to determine if it is pressure regulator or fuel pump related.
Start at the beginning and let me know the status of the cleanings the engine you have and the mileage and we can go from there.
