Bucking and Idle Problem

I have a 1990 Toyota Celica GT. It is bucking at low speed and would like to know what causes that problem and how it can be fixed. Also, when I start the car it idles high. I appreciate you in advance.

Sounds like bad tune up parts. They uasually go bad under a load like under accelleration. Very simple to do and very cheap. Very common! Good luck let me know!

Reply to amedee's Post: A tune up was done with all new parts. Since it's easy and cheap to do, can you tell me what the problem is? Because it cant be bad tune up parts if the parts are new. What is the problem?

Just because the parts are new does not mean they are good. I get alot of bad new parts right out of the box.
U could have an air leak in the air snorkle between the mass air flow sensor and the thrittle plate. Air leaks are the number one cause of a high idle. Listen for a hissing sound when your car is idleing.

I think the bucking is the tune up parts. If it is not the tune up parts, than it may be an injector. Can u get it to do it at idle?
