1995 Toyota Camry
I have no dash lights visible when car is turned on, but here's a full description of whats happening: Literally overnight everything went crazy, I started up my car fine and drove to work and when I parked up I noticed my car revs itself when in park or neutral between 1500 and 2500. When in gear, it stays a constant 2000 revs and will move itself without pushing the accelerator.
It also changes gear terribly, obviously since its reving when changing between Park, Reverse, Neutral and Drive, however it seems to particuarly hate being put in Reverse. This problem is not appearant when driving normally, but reappers again as 'jerking' when slowing down for lights, corners, etc.
Several people I've talked to suggested it's a vacuum leak, could someone give me ideas how to diagnose and fix this? Any other ideas? I've heard this is relatively common in Camry's so any help or experience would be appreciated =)

let it sit and idle since it stays at a constant 2000 rpm then spray ether or carb cleaner around the engine and engine compartment and listen for the idle to rev up then you know where your vacuum leak is. or atleast a good idea. dont forget your intake gasket area. as far as any ideas im not sure but thatll help check for a vacuum leak.

Don't know Toyota's but vacuum leak can be detected by spraying hoses and gaskets etc. Listening for an engine speed change. I've heard of using Carb Cleaner, Water, WD40, starting fluid. The starting fluid on a hot engine sounded scary to me. Pick your poison. I used the carb cleaner last.
Could also be bad injector, fuel pressure (pump or regulator), idle air control motor.
What it is doing is trying to stay running, it revs up to stay running then detects the excessive rpm and cuts the gas back then thinks its starving and dumps more gas to stay running.

i might want to carry that component to the scrapyard, geez you're fortunate you receive a avert neon to very last that lengthy. those automobiles are notoriously unreliable. anyhow... might want to be gas challenge or the mass airflow sensor. O2 sensor isn't a lot to interchange both. If it says its a prob - i might want to replace it. If the oxygen sensor is malfunctioning, the gas/air ratio will be off.
