Brandon;

First off I dont think your fuel filter is causing any major issue.
Secondly most fuel filters have an arrow indicating direction of flow.

Going back to your...

Brandon,

You say the car idles perfectly. Does it run fine if you give it some gas ?
Have you drove it ?

You say it idles perfectly now ? For how long ?
If it sits and idles "perfectly" for a sustained amount of time then it is doubtful you have a vacuum leak.

I am saying...

Actually that is something Brandon could do also.
Only in his case he would want to check cranking vacuum.
Disable the fuel pump, attach vacuum gauge, crank the engine over for 10/15 seconds and...

Have you put a vacuum gauge on it to see what vacuum you are pulling at different RPM's ?

Rj 2000 LS2;

Can you explain how this "PCV" system works ?
I understand the flow from the "canister" to the throttle body.
What function does the small line have ?
Where dues the air flow into...

Well I am old school so I like the paper manuals. Also you only have to pay for them once.
To be clear, the 7 or so books are contained in the binders.

There are several sets on ebay for around $100. Typically a complete set will be at least 4 binders with around 7 different books. Just search for 2001 Saturn L Series factory service manuals.

I believe the oil pressure switch is at the front of the engine close to the crankshaft. The switch in the photo is the coolant temperature sender.
