Perhaps a dumb question, and perhaps answered before, but I can't find anything that describes the throttle hang thing in terms of what I'm getting lately, albeit on an intermittent basis, which makes it especially maddening.

Here it is....

The revs on my car have always been somewhat slow to drop when I step on the clutch and let off the gas to shift. (This being my second 'tour, I assume this to be normal)

Sometimes, in the past couple of months, when I go to shift, the RPMs literally do "hang," that is, if they're at 4,500 when I let off the gas, they just stay there for several seconds before starting to drop, slowly.

Sometimes, if I'm cruising along in third or fourth gear, and let off the gas, the car will go along as if it's on cruise.

When this is happening, and I come to a stop and sit in neutral, it takes forever...10-20 seconds perhaps...for the revs to drop to 750.

Is this the classic throttle hang, or am I dealing with something else?

Car has about 24,000 miles on it.
