Yesterday when I switched on my car ignition, no lights were ON on the dashboard and I couldn't start the car. I twisted the battery positive terminal connection (suspecting this was due to the battery problem). Then the dashboard lights were ON and the car did start. But, the engine RPM was a bit higher than normal (I don't have an RPM meter to specify the value). At the operating temperature, RPM was lesser than the cold one but, it was higher than the normal RPM at operating temperature. Can anyone tell what could be the problem?
I have an empty parking slot at home previously occupied for 6 years by the starlet and 3 months by an AD wagon -what would be a bang-for-the-buck fun shitbox? Preferably auto as I live in a crowded suburb that has sapped the joy of stick shift out of my system.

Hi Guys,
Yesterday when I switched on my car ignition, no lights were ON on the dashboard and I couldn't start the car. I twisted the battery positive terminal connection (suspecting this was due to the battery problem). Then the dashboard lights were ON and the car did start. But, the engine RPM was a bit higher than normal (I don't have an RPM meter to specify the value). At the operating temperature, RPM was lesser than the cold one but, it was higher than the normal RPM at operating temperature. Can anyone tell what could be the problem?
FYI: Mine is a toyota corolla AE100 (YOM 95).
