Hi Linda , you mite have a windshield leak ! You could possibly look under the dash an see if there is a water stain coming down the metal body inside ! If it were the passenger side I'd say you had a heater core leak .You don't have any unusual odors do you ? Like anti freeze ? Or does the windshield fog up when on defroster ?

You might also have low fuel pressure, cylinder damage, intake or exhaust valve damage, too.

Chevy kind of have this problem because water get in if the window is open in the rain or if snow is on the window and you roll it down .And the main control is on the drivers door .

Most Saturn's have a filter that looks like and oil filter usually right in front, often black in color and in some models hidden by the battery tray, but easy to replace

what year make model and engine size do you have?? ignition timing or valve timing can cause this or low engine vacuum, also to high a float level in a carburetor a worn out accelerator pump or a bad diaphragm in the power valve or with injected engines a leaky injector or low engine vacuum can cause this along with low compression, However not knowing what type of engine you have, there's a world of problems you may be experiencing and no one would ever know without more info!!

Hi, if you have automatic climate controls (where you can select a certain temperature), the whole system is run off the 40 amp HVAC fuse in the box under the hood.If you have manual controls (where there is just a knob that you turn from cold to hot), the blower is run off the 30 amp RUN fuse.In the case of manual control systems, the problem can be caused by many different parts. Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r6234839-doesn_t_heater_or_air_conditioner_blow . These are genericinstructions.
