my s10 was doing that for a while and it was the fuel pump...but not saying it in your case. Also is could be a spark plug I would have to actually drive and see what the car is actually doing to help you out more...

Yay a saturn something i know alot about lol. I used to work for saturn i learned alot being a lube tech how many miles are on it. i'de be willing to bet maybe pulgs or wires i'de check those first. It is possible of a bad injector. to check that u could tap on the injectors and see if it runs better just don't smash them. anouther possibility on the S-series cars could be the fuel filter

lol college kid yea i'd probably start with plugs and wires i'm not shure what the reading on the wires should be but you can test the plug wires by running an ohm meter on one end and the other. and just pull the plugs and look at them see if there full of carbon and other junk
