taping brakes raises idle?
forgot how i knoticed it for the first time but if i sitting in neutral or just whith the clutch pushed in and i push the brake pedal it raises my idle a little. but then if i hit them like 5 times in a row it will raise the idle each time to about a max of about 6-800 rpm.
is this a problem? what the heck would be causing this?

Re: taping brakes raises idle?
Is it raising your idle BY 600-800 rpms or is it moving it from lets say(A lower idle like 400 and when you push the brakes it's moving it up to 600-800?) Because under 600 rpms is ridiculously low you should be idling at like 1,000-1,500

Depending on how high it raises... it is totally normal.
To the best of my knowledge.... when you pump your breaks repeatedly it uses vacuum from the booster of which originates from the intake manifold. It briefly increases the RPMS to compensate for the use of the vaccuum. (Basically to increase the airflow to the motor)

Oops posted too soon. I'm not sure where you are getting your info from, but at normal running temp no car that I'm aware of should idle at 1,000 let alone 1,200. That's ******* insane. It's incredibly too high. 700 is around normal. I don't know the exact idle Rpm but i do know not 1,000
