i asked a tech, and he said it's probably the motor getting tired.
he's not a saturn mechanic, but he does all of our used. he said that's the first thing to check. i donlt know how i'd go about checking a motor, and have no idea about how much they cost. you should probably just trade the car in on a jeep. what are you donig this weekend? if you leave now, you can be here by noon saturday.
