OK, my Toyota Tercel(4 speed, manual) just started idling high yesterday. And when Im driving it on the road, as soon as I come to a stop, the car's idle speed seems to fluctuate up and down for about 5 seconds, then return to its high idling speed. What does this symptom sound like to you?

eeehhhhh, I'd be iffy about a clutch. I'd check the idle relay switch. or also, you might have a timing issue, ( timing chain is what it sounds like ). .

Check your throttle body and gasket, you can clean it while you're there and check for vacuum leaks. Sometimes idle surging can be due to an exhaust leak so you should check that also.

some mechanics act cool and shit,...last time i went to one, they started telling me that i need brake pads on my car, so i told them i dont want to get it done, becuase i could do it myself.

so i went to another auto part store, bought the break pads, i got home, took the tire off my car, and the pads were still good!!!
