The 2000 Saturn SL1 may idle high due to several factors, including a malfunctioning idle air control (IAC) valve, vacuum leaks, or issues with the throttle position sensor (TPS). A dirty or faulty IAC can lead to improper airflow, causing the engine to maintain a higher idle speed. Additionally, vacuum leaks can introduce excess air into the intake system, affecting engine management. Regular maintenance and diagnostics can help identify and resolve the underlying issues.
How can I replace the headlamp on a 2000 Saturn SL1

yes. use brake cleaner to find the leak. However replace your ects and clean your throttle body. This is normally the reason for a high idle. ----------------------------------------------------------- THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR ANSWER!
Around 700 RPM
The idle is controls ONLY by the PCM. Replace your ECTS along with cleaning the Idle Air Control valve located on the throttle body.
Could be your idle valve
When you here a rattling noise from the engine at idle.
what does idle funny mean? Does the whole car shake? (upper engine mount collapsed) Or does the engine shake/misfire? (Intake manifold gasket)
The idle arm may be off set. The idling is set extremely high according to the RPM's stated and need to be lowered.
Chain
stock idle speed with transmission in Nutural should be 550rpm. they allow a +/- 100 Rpm, so a range of 450-650rpm is normal.
It is located inside of the gas tank.
