If the car starts and dies when stepping on the gas, you have a weak fuel pump. Fuel cannot keep up with demand, so the vehicle dies. Replace the fuel pump and your problem will be fixed.

The car does not die. It just idles , like there is no gas pedal.

Maintenance & Repair
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
