I have a 1998 Saturn SL2. It starts up normal, sounds normal, no noise at all while in idle or while driving on road. Problem is that when I stop at a stop sign, or slow down to turn somewhere (store, or whatever) my RPM's drop to below 100. It usually sits just slightly above 100 in idle. I've already replaced the battery, just had the oil changed last week, checked spark plugs, wiring, etc. But for some reason, it continues to do this. It's at the point that I hate knowing I have to drive it to work (25 minutes away) in case in breaks down and I'm stuck at work.
Could it be as simple as a dirty fuel injector filter? Or is it my battery (which is only 6 months old and top of the line)? Again, there's no noise, car doesn't sound like it's laboring, just the RPMs drop way too low, almost to the point of conking out. More frustrating than anything and causing me concern since I need this car, especially as a single-mom with 2 kids.
Serious answers only please!!
