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 haven't tried resetting my ecu. I don't notice any smoke when I it happens.

Before the tune-up, sometimes when I turned the key, all I would hear was a "click". I'd have to do a couple or few clicks in a row the get the engine started. Ever since the tune-up, the car sometimes struggles to turn on.

By running too rich or lean, do you mean the octane of gas being used? I've been on 87 octane.

Thanks for the input. I'll probably have the injectors and the MAF checked if resetting the ECU doesn't help.
