I would look under the hood on the drivers side of your vehicle, and look for a black box, the box normally has 2-3 plastic snaps, that you can un snap in order to remove the top plastic cover, this box should say relays / fuses, look inside for the fuel pump relay, they are labeled, and normally, the cover has a diagram on the inside of it to indentify the fuses, and relays, hope that this information has helped you.
The relay is located under the hood in the power distribution box.

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 ! ! ! !
Some fuses are in a fuse block on the driver's side of
the vehicle, near the driver's right leg. Loosen the screw
on the cover and remove the cover.
