Thanks NICK.
I wired the sensor and the car idles OK. The surging stopped for now. But I am experiencing a bit of drop in power. I might still change the vacuum lines.
Thanks for all your help.

Sorry guys.
Why is it that when I release the clutch ( even in neutral) it idles high, but when i have it engaged it sort of goes into normal idle?

I'm not sure on that. Like I said before, this make of car isn't even sold in the US so never got to see their particular quirks. Still follow up with those vacuum lines. Might make a world of difference. You also could have an idle air control motor that is slow to respond.

Thanks, Nick.
I have not solved the idle surge problem. Turns out that i unplugged the TPC and the car wont surge with it out.But when I hook it back on it starts to surge again.So I pulled out the whole throttle body off.Did a a clean up and put it back in. It's still the same! I did noticed the IAC motor looked stuffed and there was no gasket between the IAC and throttle body. 
Tooks pics from GOOGLE.

By the IAC looking stuffed I'm guessing you mean it was loaded up with soot. It may have overstressed itself trying to move in that constantly to try to keep this running. Try replacing the IAC motor.

Thanks Nick..
I changed the throttle body altogether. Ummm.. Another question my temperature gauge doesn't work. Is that what those unplugged wires are?

Very possible. To find out put a fused jumper wire from one terminal to the other. if the gauge maxes out with the jumper in place you know it is.

Thanks Discret and Nick.
When I changed the throttle body the "idle surge" stopped.Which is good news.
