I figured I would ask this question since gm did own saturn. I have a 1998 sacturn sc1 (manual w/150k+ miles). This problem has been happening for off and on for about 2yrs or so. On occasions, when i drive around and come to a stop (while my car is idling), my car idles at almost 2k rpms. I know this is not normal. I've asked around but it seems people can't give me sure answer why this is happening. Any ideas?
I also have problems putting it in 1st and 3rd gear. Meaning it won't go into those gears very easily sometimes.

Any help would be great. Thanks.
