Others have suggested sluggish acceleration and idle issues "can" be caused by a faulty ECTS (Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor) It'll run you about $14 over the counter. BEFORE you start taking things apart however, go to Walmart and buy TWO bottles of Techron brand fuel injector cleaner (do not substitute a "cheapy" brand get the Techron!). Pour 1 bottle into the gas tank just prior to each of the next 2 times you get gas, if things have not improved by the time the second treated tank is gone, repost and Ill tell you what to try next.

OH, and by the way, Saturn TPS (Throttle Position Sensors) rarely fail on even the oldest of cars>

I have a 2008 Saturn Vue 3.6 engine.

Sounds like you have contaminants in your gas. Buy some STP Gas Treatment in the Red bottle and dump it in your tank. This should fix your problem.
