idleing trouble

**gt19celica87** · 08-19-2008, 06:33 PM

i just got an 01 celica gt 5 speed. a couple days ago i noticed the check engine light came on while i was driving. when i stopped at a stop light and the car was having trouble staying idle the tac needle would be at like 100 rpm and then rise to 1000rpm then it would go back down to 100rpm bounce around like it was struggling then my engine would stall. sometime i have trouble when i start to go it stalls on me because it was having trouble staying at 1000rpm idle so i have to give it some gas in ordor for me to go and when i let the clutch it either jerks forward and goes or it stalls . what could be wrong?

I had the same problem with my golf

I changed the spark plugs, wires, distrib and cap, and it worked..

give it a go, either way it can't hurt and the plugs will cost you <$40
