Look for debris and 're check everything is tight that you removed and secure the sheild
SOURCE: Replaced fuel filter, now won't start
a cut off switch is almost never the problem just hummor me for a second and please check that the fuel filter is installed correctly not backwards then check the fuel pump fuse and relay if all good check for power at the pump and a good ground if all this is good then the pump need replacement

you can try just resetting the fuel pump switch located in the car
the switch is originally in the car for in case of an accident, however, if changed, chances are you also have to reset it
in my 98 grand marquis, the switch is on the left side of the trunk

Misnikie32 . .. I just had the same problem around the time you figured out your problem and I just got it fixed yesterday. For almost 3 weeks I had starting problems and I constantly smelled gas. The problem is a safety issue and the car needs to be recalled. The hose that is connected to the fuel pump is cracked. Since the hose is incorporated with the fuel pump, the entire mechanism needs to be changed. Look at spending about 700.00 . I informed saturn and told them my life was at danger. Please contact them on their website and goto your state's attorney general and launch a complaint, as well as the office of defective investigations and the NTSAB (google them). This needs to be brought to their attention and all owners of this car. I googled this and many other people are having this problem. Some are even on this forum. PLEASE DO THIS ! ! ! !

My car has had these symptoms. And just yesterday I started smelling gas. I will get it checked immediatly. If it is that I will file for a recall also.
SOURCE: car cuts off when coming to a stop.
I have had the same problem happen twice with my 2005 saturn ion. It ended up being the fuel injectors had gunk build up so I had to get my injectors and fuel system cleaned. I add a bottle fuel treatment every other oil change and have not had the problem since.
