My Saturn has just got the spark plugs, wires and and oil changed on Saturday. However, it's still hesitating. Also, the service engine light is on. What could be causing the hesitation and service engine light to come on. Thanks.

You need to pull the codes from the computer to start with.

Couple common problems with the saturns are a bad coolant temp sender, bad egr valve and vacuum leak on the intake around the #1 cylinder....BUT neither may be the case..pull the codes first.
