So you wasted your time at Advance Auto

All they did was check for codes

You check for codes
Diagnose the codes
Component Test--- to find a problem

The vehicle has to be road tested with
scanner along & you to explain things
& look at all data

You do not need codes to work on any vehicle
& find a problem

If all you do is drive it & never do any Preventative
Maintenance,then that has to be done as well

You could easily spend a thousand dollars to straighten
out ALL the vehicles issues, if you have not been working
on it several times a year

You went to Advance
You have the codes they found
Google your codes & read up on the issue

SOURCE: 95 saturn sl 2 5 speed manual transmission, clutch

This vehicle has a pair of shift cables which attatches to the shifter and runs to the transmission shift housing.To diagnose,removal of the center console is in order so you can inspect and verify the shifter/cable connections and movement,then verify the cables move the linkages properly at the transmission . These cables are a fairly common failed part and sold as the set,these are a dealer item and no aftermarket cables are available .

Intermittant stall at same location. 5 miles from home. 1 stop on downhill slope, no stall. 4 blocks over hill to level at stop light,

Sounds like about the right distance for the system to go into close loop.Use a good scan tool to check parameters of the system to locate the failing sensor/item when it stalls.

2002 saturn with check engine light on and gutless while losing power goiung up hills

Hi:
Before you can make an educated repair decision, you need to find out what has tripped the check engine light. Most auto parts stores, such as auto zone, will scan your vehicle for free, and tell you what is most likely causing the light. You can take their suggestions as to what is wrong, or post the info they gave you here, and go from there!

1999 Saturn SL Sedan Service Engine light is on, need code to reset it.

something in the monitoring system is turning it on. if you turn it off it will just come back on. have someone put an analyzer on it and figure out what is wrong with it. often times bad O2 sensor on saturns.
