Default Check Engine Light

I have a 2000 S and the check engine light stays on. I have checked everything I can think of and find nothing. It runs fine except randoming it idles fast, other times it idles normally. New to Saturns.

Idle Air control valve/sensor maybe?

Just throwing it out there since I just replaced my throttle body that was one of the sensors on it, I had to disconnect it when adjusting idle and when the hole got unplugged it idled faster than normal, and the check engine light was turned on. It might be going.

I could be wrong though.

Very difficult to diagnose without knowing what failure codes are showing up ......
