That's not much information... How's your normal tune-up stuff? Does the idle speed surge up & down? Every few seconds or how fast? Or does it misfire a lot & stumble? Describe what it's doing.

It could be as easy as a tune-up. Old plugs, bad plug wires, arcing across the distributor cap... If that stuff's good, then check/clean your IAC valve.

yea...the idle surges up and down constantly. If i let the car idle and warm up for about 5 min the surging stops and it settles at a high rpm(around 2000rpm). but, it starts doing it again as soon as i touch the gas pedal and let off. i have new plugs and new wires as well as a new iac valve.........
