If there were a "Saturn FAQ," this would be one of the top few entries.
If you do a Google groups search (http://groups.google.com/) against this
newsgroup (rec.auto.makers.saturn), you'll find many, many articles dealing
with engines dying and/or revving low.
IIRC, Coolant Temperature Sensor and fuel problems (for example bad gas,
bad fuel pump) can cause these symptoms. Hopefully, others with better
memory and/ or more experience than I will happen along and provide more
useful information.
Good luck!
