2003 Saturn Vue 5 speed idle revs and loss of cruise control, seems to run fine at higher gears but revs between 1 and 1.5 rpms during idle.

Replacing throttle body today to see if that solves it. Out of town and not sure if I should drive it 100 miles to home. It had stuck at 3000 rpms the first time I noticed it and turned it back off. A/C not working either SES light on, no codes though.

How did you check code's ? OBD2 scan tool ? There are more computers on your vehicle then just the PCM/ECM - engine computer . BCM - body control module , Air bag module , ABS - anti-lock brakes , instrument cluster etc.... Need a factory scan tool or someother professional type scan tool to read these codes. If the check engine (SES) light is on code's are stored in one of these other modules . Your best bet mite be to have a qualified repair shop check it out .(not dealer )

there are a couple of things to look at. first take a look at the tempature controll sensor, its on the right side of the block. It kinda looks like a spark plug sticking out the side of the block. If its cracked or broken then it will mess with your idle. Also you should be checking your throtle body control censor and your throtle body. clean everything out. also the BWD Ignition Module/Control Unit. If its cracked it will cause this exact problem. I would also add a general tune up with spark plugs and wires. If you follow these directions I think you will be good, if this does not work let me know, I can give more info once I have a better idea.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but mine failed at 29K and became undriveable at 31K and after years of hard handling, I treated that car like it was Christmas tree ornaments, fully expecting it to last until I am dead; the engine failed at 57,600. It's gone and I'm still breathing. It was the last GM anything I will ever own.

I had the exact same problem on my 04 GC. I put some Techron Concentrate Plus Fuel System Cleaner in from Wal-Mart and it seemed to fix the problems right away. Let me know.

95 saturn sl mising at idle but seems to run fine at higher rpms?

You did not mention how many miles are on the car but there is 2 things I would check first 1) pull a spark plug and check it if the electrode is round or the gap is much larger than the spec on the eng decal replace the plugs.and check the condition of the wire's the resistance should be 5 ohm's per foot of length
2) remove the large hose that goes from the air box to the throttle body on the intake manifold-if it is really dirty then it needs to be cleaned and the ( idle air speed motor ) will also be very dirty whick will cause a rough idle.

2002 Saturn Vue V6 Loss of Power

Yup. The throttle body connectors have a history of failing on these cars. Replace the throttle body and the wire connectors that go to it, and you're back in business. Not terribly difficult and you can get the parts from any dealer. Saturn actually has a bulletin out on this problem but they won't cover it unless you're under warranty - no recall for this.

Cars engine rpm revs up periodically or shifts erratically

Sounds like you could have a vaccuum leak. you could spray carb cleaner around your lines and see if the engine's rpm increases or starts running like ****. That would be an easy test to indicate leak or not.
