	Wow, your car must know my car!

	I've got the intermittent high idle problem, and solved the
	"bucking" problem a few months ago - or, rather, my
	mechanic did.  The latter turned out to be bad injectors:
	it's running great now.  So ... have someone either pressure-check
	your injectors, or just replace them.

	Good luck!
