Ok guys...i have a 92 ES300 with 160k miles. When the car is on idle, it seems like the engine chuggs...and trys to pull away....it does it intermittently. Sometimes if it senses that the idle is too low, it jumps back up to 800, 900rpm...anyone have this problem? Help....

I figured out the problem.....one of my spark plug wires was almost burnt through....not sure why, but we replaced that one wire and replaced all of the spark plugs and all is well. No more chugging....i believe I was driving only with 5 cylinders!!! geeze!

Only one? Why didn't you replace the others?

I just didn't want to spend anymore money on it....everything cost 90 bucks for 6 new bosch spark plugs (non-platinum) and one spark plug wire. I am selling the car in a week so I figure I don't want to spend any unessasary money on it.
