Change the temperature sending sensor on the engine. This is literally a 25 min. job from start to finish. The sensor's new from Saturn are cheap and notoriously going bad over time. Just did one in my 97 and it was simple and cleared the same problem. The return line from the engne to the fill/overflow tank may be clogged. Take it off and clean it out.

What causes a Saturn to overheat?

Check the cooling system, and I mean everything. Thermostat, temperature sesnor(s), radiator clogs, radiator cap, badly damaged water pump, belts, you could simply need to add more antifreeze. If it isn't your coolant system, then it's your driving habbits or driving conditions, in which case you may want to slow down, get a car that can handle harsh driving, or upgrade your radiator. Also check that your electric fan is coming on.
