appreciate the help

this is a thread on how to replace the ECTS:

the ects will cause idling and gas mileage problems down the road (if it hasn't already) if it is the stock one.
for the throttle body and IAC, i'm having a hard time finding good links that have thorough instructions on how to do this. Since you've never worked on saturns before and i haven't cleaned these myself (shop did it for me) I would get a chilton's manual for your particular car on ebay. I don't believe you HAVE to remove the IAC to clean it nor the throttle body but it's best to remove them as it will be easier. You may need to get a new gasket for the throttle body. Sorry i couldn't help much on how to do this but I would bet my pink slip that cleaning these will help with idle problems. For the autozone, hopefully they will read them for free. a few won't but most do cuz they hope that you will buy the part that you need from them (marketing strategy). If it is the 02 sensor causing the SES to come on, you CAN get a replacement one from autozone since it's much cheaper than the OEM part, but i wouldn't. I've heard good AND bad stories on the universal one.
