revs hanging when I disengage the clutch!

[m3ta1head]

I was tooling around town today, not driving particularly hard or anything. I approached a stoplight in 5th gear and pushed the clutch pedal in, only to have the revs hang for a good 5-6 seconds around 3000rpm before dropping down like normal. I was a little confused at first, but I chose to ignore it and continued driving the car around. A few hours later, the same thing happened, except this time it was during acceleration when I was changing from 3rd to 4th. Finally, about an hour ago, I coasted to a stoplight in 5th and pushed the clutch in again-same thing! The revs hang around 3000rpm for a few seconds before dropping down.

What the hell is going on? :shrug:

its called throttle hang. it happens to a lot of cars. there are generally a couple of advice u'll get on here.
1) clean ur throttle body
2)and then do some modification using a pin or sumthn.
next time, just type in throttle hang in the search line. am sure a bunch of stuff will come up.

One other thing that can cause this but it not as likely, it a TPS failure. TPS's don't suddenly just fail but a failure of one can cause this condition. I have a TPS failure and what you discribed happened to my car. I fixed it by replacing the TPS.

A "throttle hang" will not cause a CEL code, a TPS failure will. Check for a CEL.

A "throttle hang" will not cause a CEL code, a TPS failure may. Check for a CEL.

Quoted for accuracy.

There is no CEL.

The car hasn't done this the last two days, and I've put about 60 miles on it since the problem arose on the 24th. :shrug:

most likely throttle hang then. That issue isnt permanent. it'll come and go as it pleases.
