1998 Saturn sl 1 1.9 litre engine runs for a while then stalls and won't start. Sit there for a while and turn the key on and off and will start. Intermittent hesitations/bucking while driving. No fuel pressure/ no spark. Also, occasionally the low coolant red light on dash will come on even though system is full. What could be the problem. Have since changed coolant temp sensor but did not solve problem.

I took this to my mechanic... It was a bad crank positioning sensor. This problem will not show on an engine diagnostic test. If you ever experience this problem of not starting, change this sensor first.

That certainly didn't cause your low coolant sensor to come on.

That would be one of the many possible causes of your other symptoms. As long as the problem can be duplicated, it can be tested and diagnosed properly.
