Got a 95 SL1 - 1.9 SOHC.  My problem is when you rev it up the rpm's float down.  This is especially
annoying when driving because when you shift (5 speed), if you don't let the rpm's drop before
letting the clutch out between gears the car lunges forward. There's no engine light and the engine
runs good other than this little problem.  I've checked the cable and linkage and they move freely.
Any idea's ????  EGR valve ???? Vacuum leak ????

Thanks

Get the codes read and verify that there are none stored.  Autozone stores
will do it for no charge.

I have the EXACT same problem at the moment on a 94 SL1.  It only does
it after the car reaches a certain temperature (closed loop I assume).
I have checked for vacuum leaks on the EGR, EVAP and brake booster
circuits and cannot detect any, although a leak can show up at higher
temperatures too.

Things that it may be:

1.  EGR bleed hole is clogged up causing the EGR to close too slowly
when throttle is closed.  Only way to check this is to disable the EGR
and drive it to see what the RPMs do.  It could also be that the EGR
valve does not fully close due to carbon buildup or the EGR switch (if
vacuum type) is sticky as well.  If you are going to test it, best
thing to do is disable it, and tap it so that its valve seats well.

2. IAC valve is not closing fast enough and is sticky.  The IAC is used
to reduce emissions by preventing a fast throttle close condition in
order to burn off residual vapors still in the intake.  As well, it
helps to prevent the RPMs dropping too fast to aid in smoother
shifting.

3. Vacuum leaks.  This one is something I think would normally show up
with a rough idle.  My car idles very well, so I think this is low on
my probability list.

4. deposits in the throttle body.  Again, mine is super clean, so not
for me.

It will be interesting to see if one of us can solve this though,
because I can't find a solution from the dsaturn discussion forums at
all.
