Just to add to this one those single cam saturn S models 2000-2002 for vacuum leaks around the number 1 intake port.Which is right by the power steering pump they wrinkled the intake gasket when they put the intake the intakes on at the factory.Spray some carb around the intake ports if the idle goes up down stumbles or dies the intake gasket is leaking.Its a very common issue on those i have replaced a ton of those gaskets for that issue.
