Saturn S-Series dont have a cam position sensor. Check for corrosion on the coil pack towers and the condition of the plugs and wires.

Thanks a lot for the info. I will try that and get back with you.
I also got a code that said my RPM was to high, will that fix that problem also?
THANKS again

Most P0340/P0341 codes are set due to bad plug wires. As a Saturn tech of 5 years this was always the first thing I replaced and that fixed it 99.9% of the time.

JOE
I replaced the plugs and wires and it seemed to help for a little while, but now it is running rough again.
Is there anything else that I can try?
