This does not happen all of the time, but when I apply the clutch, the rpms jump up to almost 4000 and stay there 5-7 seconds before they go down to idle. has anyone else had this happen to their car? If so, what should I do. The dealership has had the car for about 3 weeks trying to recreate the problem, but they have not been able to. any help would be greatly appreciated.

And find the throttle hang fix...its really simple and easy to do....the only reason i bing this up si because thats what use to happen to me. Lupe P.S. i wouldn't reconmnd the Stealership unless you know someone there for a while. they tend to to more harm than good. Find a good independant with a good reputation who ahs touched a contour before.
