did you get a check engine light with a code for the crank sensor? many things could cause your problem. ---

I can’t tell you how many crank sensors I have replaced over the years on Saturns. Some owners of these cars would have to replace their crank sensors yearly. Some got so use to these failing that as soon as they were experience the same problems and call and just say, It’s time to replace the crank sensor again!". And since your vehicle is an OBDI vehicle, there are no codes for a failed crank sensor. 11 Transaxle Codes present 12 Diagnostic System Check 13 Oxygen sensor, circuit open or not ready 14 Engine coolant temp. circuit.
