Intermittent fast idle, sometimes up to 2500 rpm. No relation to air or engine temp, except it happened very little during winter. Now it happens several times a day. Some times it happens from the time I start the engine, other times it starts happening while driving. If I restart the car some times it will be ok. Tune up done recent, no effect.

Hi, thankyou for donating, the way you are describing it, it sounds like either your throttle position sensor(tps) is going bad or you may have a vacuum leak or two, possibly a crack in one of your vacuum hoses, do you have a check engine light on yet?
