1998 Saturn SC1 Stalling Out Problem

Ok Let me explain everything to the little detail. I have talked to many mechanics about this and all of them say something completely different if someone could just agree with one thing and see what is completely wrong I would be gratefully happy. Ok My car is a 5 speed standard. I bought it about 3 months ago and it has 137,000 Kms on it. Right now it is winter and my car starts completely fine when the engine is nice and cold. I can drive it around until it gets to about the quarter of the tempature gage and then it seems to want to completely stall out. I still have battery power going to my accessory. A few lights come on just because it died and I still have power. I pull over and try to start it again and it makes a sound like it was to turn over but it doesn't completely start. I wait about 10 minutes and my car cools down and starts perfectly fine. I had just replaced the Ignition Module with the Coil packs and everything to do with that. I had a mechanic from a Saturn Dealerships advise me that it might be a Crank Sensor. Does anyone else have any ideas. Please Notify me as soon as possible. I need my car as soon as possible as it is getting close to Christmas Time! Please and Thanks!

Sounds like the same problem I had a year ago. No spark to the plugs, the spark doesn t go past the crank position sensor (cannot remember all) but spark will not go to anything after the cps, a little hard to get to, behind the head, fuel injectors toward windshield, but down behind it motor 1/2 way down or so! :Roll: I know the mechanic needed a paper clip to do something. About 13.00 to 18.00 dollars, 1 hour top.
