My 95 saturn sometimes stall and dies(or jus flat out dies) when I slow down or come to a stop. If I give it some gas when it stalls it runs fine but if I dont give it gas it cuts off. any suggestions?
More than likely a charging issue. Otherwise the cars idle setting has changed (Unlikely) If your alternator is not putting out 13.5-14.5v at idle, your car will indeed stall. If you get this checked at an autoparts store, make sure they test both at the alternator and at the battery, since a bad cable can lead to the same problem with a good alternator. Good Luck
Hello, If you have never used a bottle of fuel injector cleaner, now is the time to purchase a bottle. Get to a gas station, pour it in gas tank before your fill up- do fill it so you will have enough gas in tank for the requirements of 10 to 20 gallons as listed on the bottle you buy. Read the instructions. Check your air cleaner at the same time to see if it needs replacement. Take a steady ride on the highway foe 20 minutes and as you come off highway and are decelerating softly toe tap the gas pedal without providing any pedal movement. Watch your rpm's at the stop and don't expect immediate results unless you get lucky.(don't hit the car in front of you) is a good reminder hear. drive the car through this tank of gas with the added cleaner and you may have to use your foot on pedal to prevent stalling until cleaner works. next post try to list more info-milage, maintenance, etc. Try it and get back.
Give it a oil change and put a new fuel filter on it. you might have to change spark plugs and spark plug wires. also put some engine and fuel treatment. if that does not work put about 5 gallons of premium fuel in.

thx for the comments but i have already given it a tune up. changed oil and filter, air filter, spark plugs and wires, and a fuel filter i think. Ive used premium gas, octane booster and fuel injector cleaner. recently put in a new radiator(old 1 had a hole), new coolant temp sensor, new battery, ignition switch. will be changing the starter soon(bad solenoid). The prob im having now was there before and after all this work. Driving on the highway i doubt will help cuz I drove it 16hrs to get to NY and no probs. Automatic 1.9 liter DOHC 4-cyl, milage is 155,038
Saturn will not go faster then thirty and when u give it gas to go faster it slows down
