hi guys i need some help, i've had my new celica (UK spec 98 GT 3sge) for a week now, and i just noticed that it is idling at very low revs, actually it fluctuates a bit and it makes the car a bit 'jerky', as if the timing is funny. Not sure what the problem is and i need ur help!

I have that same problem with my '94 Celica GT. From a stop, if I try to accelerate, the engine sometimes won't respond right away. So I let off the gas and try to accelerate again and it gets going or it moves after a moment without having to let off the gas. Just a couple days ago I got a tune-up. The spark plugs and wires were replaced.

When I got my car back, I noticed that the idling is worse than before. The "jerking" is rougher and I can't accelerate too hard at the beginning or the engine will not respond. I'm forced to press the gas pedal VERY lightly at first so that I can at least get passed 2000rpm and by then the car seems to run just fine until I get to a stop.
