My 2003 saturn ion keeps not starting. I have to let it sit for awhile before it starts Also I was driving down the highway, and the engine just shut off. All the lights were on but no engine power. When I started it back up after letting it sit for ten minutes, It started but I had the pedal to the floor and it was barerly moving. The rpms were rising but the speed wasnt.I just changed my spark plugs still awful wont work and exhaust kinda stinks.

When it doesn't start is the security light on when the key is in the run position? Also any codes in the computer?

Yes, security light is always on now. And, when it stalled today a light with a car and lock came up. The first codes from auto zone was the op0300 and from there I did my spark plugs now the codes say my oxygen sensor and ooxygen sensor wasn't on the first codes.

Sorry for the delay I didn't get a email alert saying you replied and just found this message. Sounds like you have a pass lock sensor issue. You will have to get your body control module scanned for codes which auto zone can't do with a diyer scan tool. If yo have a B2960 and or B3033 you will need to replace the ignition switch which contains the pass lock sensor.I have replaced tons of them for no starts.
