Alright 6gc, I tried using the search, and really couldn't find anything.

My celica is acting really weird.
Whenever I drive it, the revs randomly rise and fall really speradically. Its really inconsistant, and when they go up and down, the whoel car jerks, almost like when someone is lerning to drive 5 speed.
At first I thought it was my clutch slipping on the flywheel, but then my dad checked it out and thought it seemed for electrical.
Then my buddy checked it ou and said it was my distributor and that I should change my cap and rotor.
So I changed my cap and rotor, and its still got the problem.
I really don't know what to do, its my daily driver, and its to the point where it barely drives becasue I don't want to damage anything else.

I took a video on my phone, to give you a better idea of what its doing, I know its real bad quality, but hopefully it'll help.

Picked my car up, and the shop told me its my clutch.
I dunno how I didn't figure that out.
I was expecing it to rev a lot more when it slipped, not just like 100 or 200 rpm.
So it'll be winter here in about a month or so, so Im just gunna put the car away cause I can't really afford a new clutch, and it doesn't really make sense if its just gunna sit over winter anyways.

Its your clutch?! are you freaking kidding me?! lol. UGH! I'm having the exact same stupid problem. for months now. Its driving me NUTS i wanna push the car over a cliff or pull out a gun and shoot the f*** out of it!!
So far I've replaced every part of the ignition system (dizzy, cap, rotor, plug wires, plugs, coil, igniter, condenser, and even the freaking battery!!!) and it also has a new clutch. cleaned out the throttle body. nothing. Intermittenly stumbles worse than yours i may add. Drives like if my girl was driving it (she doesn't know how to drive stick.) Oof. Had about 5 seasoned techs look at it. Three of them from work (i work at Toyota) WITH the freaking Toyota scan tool (TIS) and nothing. The three techs from work told me to swap the ECU's so i'm trying to find it. My entire dash and some of my center console is apart from looking for it today but i ran out of time at work. haha.
