My 1998 Saturn SL1 engine stalls intermittently after it reaches operating temperature. It will not start back up until I wait 5 or 10 minutes. It doesn't happen all the time, but seems to be happening more often of late. Any suggestioins?

sounds like its probably the engine crank sensor usually doesnt set a code for that the only way to diagnose it with out a code is wait till it happens and wont start and have a scan tool handy that will read engine data and watch the rpms on the scan tool while u crank the engine when its not starting if it reads 0 rpm while cranking bad crank sensor.unless u want to just take a chance and change it thats the most likely cause i have seen alot of them do that very same thing very random dieing hard to diagnose unless it just fails good luck let me know how it goes.
