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.

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.

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 )

My 1998 saturn sl series idles to high even after 100 mile drive

Start by replacing the coolant temp switch.It is different than the sensorThe temp switch tells the computer if the car is warmed up to change idle.It is the best place to start and it is only 9.00 at Auto Zone

What kind of gas should I put in a 1993 Saturn S

It should run on 87 just fine. Have you checked for spark on all for cylinders. Does it just miss at idle or does it run bad on acell too?

My 1996 Saturn SL1 runs very sluggish w/A/C on

idle is too low you see the problem with saturn sl1 is its a single cam engine that puts out only 100hp and when you get into low idling such as 800 rpms where it should be idling at when you hit the a/c the rpms drop a good 150 so turn the idle up more or is it during driving conditions?
