I just got my CSVT this week, and it's the first MTX I've owned, so it might well be driver error, but last night I noticed (a couple of times) I would let off the gas and push in the clutch, and the revs would stay up around 3K RPM - is this what is meant by "throttle hang", and does the moose fix get rid of this? Also, if this is throttle hang, is this something actually wrong with the car, or is it an emissions thing that's actually been designed into the ECU? What damage, if any, does this do to the vehicle? 1999 Red / Tan SVT #1969 of 2760 Built 4/21/99 KKM Intake Factory Spoiler 35% Tint all around

The is a "fix" for it listed on this forum. I've learned to live with it. Mine comes and goes. 1998.5 Contour SVT - Silver Frost Metallic/Midnight Blue - 64K miles.

Personally I have never had any issue with it, It actually keeps the revs in line for when I want to throttle up.
