Question -
I have a 97 saturn sc1 that has approximately 125K miles on it.  It has been idling rough since it hit the 100k mark.  I have a friend who is a mechanic who said that's just what Saturns do after 100k miles.
Is this true and if not, is there anything that you would suggest checking?  It seems to run fine but just idles really rough.  I have run a full diagnostic on it and nothing comes up.  No engine lights have ever come on either.  
Thank you.

Hi well its not just somthing saturns do usually it turns out to be a sticky egr or a sticky iac motor but the thing to do i keep an eye on it an if the ses light comes o get it checked or if the idle gets worse but if u clean these up u may get ride of the problem for about 15$ instead of 150 later. if u need help with the cleaning let me know its easy.
Yes, I would like some info on cleaning up one or both of these to see if it would help.  Any information you could provide in regards to this I would really appreciate.
Thank you.
