we own a 2002 Saturn L300. it will start and run briefly at 1000 RPMs then quickly cut out. can keep trying to the same result. after a short period of time and will start and run fine. seems kind of random. have replaced plugs and serpentine belt. what should i do?

I would change the oil pressure sending unit. Sounds like it's not sending a pressure signal to the ECM fast enough. May have some carbon or sludge that slowly lets the oil by, hence the running after many tries.

Go to a auto part's store like auto zone and have them scan your car for code's if you have any let me know the exact code number's.
