Yes I know that Saturns do not have carburetors, and hence accelerator pumps, but thats what the symptoms are. My mechanic has checked O2 sensors, thermal sensors, plugs, coils, throttle position sensor, and nothing helps. Each time you depress the accelerator peddle the engine stumbles like the mixture is going lean. It recovers in about 1/4 second, and runs strong until you increase the throttle setting. Then it stumbles again. This is annoying when shifting gears. Saturn factory manuals don't mention any troubles that fit this description, so they are of little use in debugging this problem. Sometimes I wish it had a carburetor so I could fix the problem. :)
