Possibly timing belt issues. How many miles is on your car? Has timing belt ever been replaced?

^Its got a timing chain. Did you try to start it afterwards to see if it would turn over or if the battery was still supplying power?

Try getting a new crankshaft position sensor (sit right above starter on engine block on the DOHC 1.9 4 cyl). Normally, when this sensor gets old or fails you'll be driving along and all of a sudden your engine dies and won't re-start until cool). This sensor can be purchased on Amazon for cheap, make sure you get an AC Delco if possible, it's what came on the car, they work great.

I have a Saturn 1992 SL Sedan with 164,000 miles. I am having a major problem with the car cutting off while I am driving at a fairly constant speed or when I am idling at a stop light. The engine will shut off, along with the power steering and all other electronics. This happens when at a stop light only after I press on the gas to accelerate from a dead stop, but I am able to put the car in neutral and start the car again (sometimes it takes a while to restart). We tried getting the electronic control module repaired, but this did not fix the problem. We checked the oil and it appears to be of the correct viscosity for the engine. We are at our ends as to what needs to be done to fix this dire problem. Thank you for your time! 8 Answers
