    My 92 sl just died doing about 70 down the highway. Since then, the car
    will start up, drive about ten minutes, the oil gauge will shoot up to hot
    then the car dies. Sometimes it will start immediately, other times you
    have to let it set. Have taken it to 2 different mechanics. One said to
    replace the positive battery cable the other said it was the EGR valve. I
    have replaced the cable and cleaned the valve, but the car still drives
    for about ten minutes and then dies. Any ideas???

    Thanks!!!!

    "oil gauge will shoot up to hot"?

    These have a oil temp gage?

    Not sure one that saturn but the "oil pressure sensor" doubles as the
    "fuel pump relay" on most modern cars. If there is no oil pressure the
    fuel pump wont run. Since it is spiking it might be shorting out
    internally. Thats all I have to go on right now from your discription.
