It is a very humid day today and my car just started idling very rough this morning on my way to work. While driving on the highway I noticed it lurching, and when stopped it idles really rough, almost wanting to stop. Any suggestions? I have about 278,000 miles on it.

Do you have a check engine light aand when was the last tune-up?

Could be the idle air control valve, EGR valve, throttle position sensor and airflow meter.

Thanks for your reply I really appreciate it. No the check engine light is not displaying. It is probably due for a tune up. What should I do for a tune up? I haven't done one for a Toyota yet. I have for my 94 Suburban.

I am assuming air filter, fuel fitler, plugs, wires, oil change. Anything else?

If it is the one of the things below is there a way for me to do myself or will I need to take it in? Any idea on cost? Funds have been a little tight for quite some time.
