Saturn SC-2 - A few weeks ago I was driving and the car stop accelerating. Once stopped it shuts off. I can start it again, but it will only run anywhere from a couple hundred yards to maybe a quarter of a mile. I want to think it is the fuel filter that needs replaced but I am worried it might be the pump? Can you help me?

sounds like the pump.. you need to install a fuel pressure gauge and find out if you are losing fuel pressure when its dying.
