E11 Corolla idling problem

    Hi all,

    Previously posted this in wrong section.

    I was hoping someone could give me some quick advice with this. I had my car with a mechanic last week to fix a high idle problem ( The car was idling at around 1200rpm) The first thing he did was plug a cable which had been unplugged from the back of the air filter housing back into it. That didn't solve the problem so he determined that some tube had a hole in it, he replaced it and the car now idles fine ( around 600-800rpm).

    I have driven the car about 3 times since and it seemed fine on all occasions. Tonight however when I tried starting the car it started and was idling very low like it was about to stall and then the rpms went up after a second or two and it was fine.

    I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas about what might be causing this. Could it be something to do with the cable that was plugged back in by the mechanic. I have the car just over a year and to my knowledge it was plugged out when I got it. Would I be correct in saying that cable is the oxygen sensor? Maybe plugged out for a reason?
    Any thoughts/help would be greatly appreciated

    Thanks
