I am the owner of a 1998 Saturn Sc2, I bought it in may of 2001, in August of 2001 it began to start acting up. When I am in neutral or in gear with the clutch all the way in, and also when I am just driving down the road, engine will rev for no reason. I notice that my engine is revving higher than usual. When I stop it will go from 1000 rpms to 3000 rpms and will stay that way until I cut off, and will sometimes just drop back down to 1000 all while I am just sitting there. I have gone to the Saturn dealer a few times and to 2 other garages in my areas. The have said that they have checked everything and could not find anything wrong and for me just to cut off the engine if it revs to high. That is the only advise that I was given. I emailed the Saturn headquarters and they advised me to do the same thing. I know that this is not the normal activity of a car. I am currently a college student working part time and I can not take a chance that this is a major problem with my car or that the car dies all together.

While driving at 30mph consumer took foot off accelerator and vehicle kept going. She then applied brakes; but, it did not slow vehicle. Applied transmission, and tachometer went to 3000 rpms. She then released transmission, and vehicle kept speed of 35 mph. She applied brakes and transmission, vehicle slowed and engine raced. But, stopped at light. She let go of transmission and brakes, and by that time she had shifted up to 3rd gear without applying accelerator, vehicle reached 35 mph. After 1/2 to 3/4 mile engine stopped racing, and consumer was able to stop vehicle. Dealer found nothing wrong with vehicle. Miles at incident 19800.

Upon initial start up, at release of foot from accelerator pedal, vehicle stalled out intermittently, also, while driving at approx. 35mph and when attempting to slow/stop vehicle engine shuts down, rendering inoperative power assist, dealers unable to duplicate failure.
