I have a 1996 Saturn SL2 manual transmission. It is a high milage car (170,000). This week while stopping in traffic (with the clutch in)the RPMs started fluctuating from about 300rpms up to about 3,000rpms. It was recommended that I try a new PVC valve, which I did, but to no avail. Today I was stopped at a light and when i tried to accelerate and release the clutch. Even though I was pressing the gas peddle, it was like I wasn't, thus it stalled. It has now done this every single time I am stopped and try to go again. The only other VERY odd problem is that now while my RPMs fluctuate while I am idleing, my thermostat gauge also fluctuates. Any Ideas or recommendations??
