I have a 2001 saturn L200 with a 2.2 ecotech engine, it started out just dieing like it was running out of gas, backfiring a lot. would restart but sometimes i would run the battery down before i could get it going. i changed the fuel pump. still dies, it will run great for five minutes or so, then its like its running out of gas, i checked the trouble codes, it said crankshaft sensor o2 sensor. so i changed the crankshaft sensor, still dies, now it throws the crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor and o2 codes. Car will run fine for five to ten min so i know its still in time, when it dies it backfires alot an quits.

Ok..sounds good.....I guess you could start with posting some basic info....The exact code numbers you are getting, fuel pressure, compression reading ( cold & hot). Also go into miss history and see if you can narrow down the miss to a few specific cyls or if its a straight random.
Also grab a datastream from when its running good and when the problem is occurring and post that as well....Both at low & high rpms

Is this a rebuilt engine or a boneyard wonder?

I know some of those eco techs had problems with their valves that would only show up hot......Even on the new ones..
