It sounds like a good size air leak somewhere in the intake system. Check all the vacuum lines for cracks or loose connections. Check for gasket leaks by spraying brake parts cleaner along the intake manifold mating surfaces and listen for an increase in engine rpm . Don't use carb cleaner for this, or you could end up with an engine fire.

Cleaning it out has nothing to do with it. IAC does which happens to be mounted on it.

If you replaced the ECM and it idles at 3500-4000 RPM, the most likely problem is that the throttle body is not able to re-learn. The most common problem is that the APP, (accelerator position sensor), is above 14%. The throttle body will not learn if the APP senor is above 14%. When you turn the key on engine off during the throttle position re-learn, you will notice that the first second it will click, then after 29 seconds it will click again and finally it will click again after 1 min. Before you try and attempt a throttle re-learn, make sure your scanner says that your throttle is closed, with a "YES" value for idle.

2003 Saturn Vue 5 speed idle revs and loss of cruise control, seems to run fine at higher gears but revs between 1 and 1.5 rpms during idle.

How did you check code's ? OBD2 scan tool ? There are more computers on your vehicle then just the PCM/ECM - engine computer . BCM - body control module , Air bag module , ABS - anti-lock brakes , instrument cluster etc.... Need a factory scan tool or someother professional type scan tool to read these codes. If the check engine (SES) light is on code's are stored in one of these other modules . Your best bet mite be to have a qualified repair shop check it out .(not dealer )

Disconnect the throttle body wire and restart,ECM replacement?Do you still have the old ECM?I belive the problem may not have resided in the ECM,When you get a reduced power its doesnt mean a bad ECM The purpose for reduce power is to protect the catalytic convertor,If there is a fault detected in the APP1 or the APP2 a reduce power is ordered.What mediates this is the TPS sensor APP1 goes high and APP2 goes low,If you have a 2003 ECM or saturn this is not a drop in ECM.Your particular year is CAN,means you need to flash it.

Change the egr valve i just did it on my 1995 and it idles at 1000 rpm it was at 3000 at 1st

If that doesnt work u most likely have a stuck throttle which usual doesnt happen
