My Saturn is an SC2 model with the duel overhead cam. The problem is that the car will idle fine but when I start giving it the gas it starts to spudder. When you drive it has alot of hesitation and spudders down the road, even at 70mph. It is getting horrible fuel economy. I recently have replaced both oxygen sensors and the fuel filter. Still the problem persists. I would love some advice on what to do next. Thank you in advance. JR

Replace the spark plugs and wires. If you have access to a multimeter then check the resistance across the tops of the coils. They should be very close to the same resistance, if they are not then replace them too. Let me know how you make out
