Your fuel pump is in the gas tank, You should be able to hear it begin to pump with the key in the on posiiton (not start) You should hear it pump for 5 seconds.
Also replacing the fuel filter is a good idea as well.
The valve you are talking about should be tested with fuel pressure tester. It should be about 75psi.

Misnikie32 . .. I just had the same problem around the time you figured out your problem and I just got it fixed yesterday. For almost 3 weeks I had starting problems and I constantly smelled gas. The problem is a safety issue and the car needs to be recalled. The hose that is connected to the fuel pump is cracked. Since the hose is incorporated with the fuel pump, the entire mechanism needs to be changed. Look at spending about 700.00 . I informed saturn and told them my life was at danger. Please contact them on their website and goto your state's attorney general and launch a complaint, as well as the office of defective investigations and the NTSAB (google them). This needs to be brought to their attention and all owners of this car. I googled this and many other people are having this problem. Some are even on this forum. PLEASE DO THIS ! ! ! !
SOURCE: how to replace leaking water pump
well if your talking about the 4 cylinder 2.2 liter,,youre gonna need a special tool that saturn has,its a holding fixture tool for the timing chain because the chain drives the water pump and you must remove the water pump pulley from the pump but you must keep the chain in place with this holding tool,it keeps the chain and pulley in place,,,,youre gonna have to find that tool either from the saturnvservice shop or maybe aftermarket,the only other way to do it is remove all the timing chains and then remove pump,,,,
