Intermittent stopping and starting

    I have a 2000 Saturn LS2 142000 miles.
    The car runs well for a while and then it suddenly slows down (the gas
    pedal is slack and has no response)and comes to a stop. When i try to
    restart immediately afterwards it does not.

    When i try to restart after about an hour, it does start, runs well for a
    while and then stops again.

    PLEASE HELP

    Sounds like an intermittant fuel pump. Bet the problem is worse when the
    tank is below 1/2 full ....

    Can you hear the fuel pump running ? if so i might think that the fuel
    filter is cloged, the filter on mine sets at an angle and if the car sets
    for a while the cloging might settle and allow fuel to flow for a bit,
    also i dont know if there is a screen in the tank that can clog
