Does the engine also rev if the clutch pedal is up and the transmission is in neutral?

navygrl12

no it doesnt, only when pressed down and still rolling

Former User

How high does the engine rev?

navygrl12

like 2000-2500k

Is the CEL on?

Try cleaning the IACV and bleeding the cooling system.

Click here.

Also try bleeding the cooling system.

Also check whether the throttle cable is adjusted too tightly. It should have 3/8" to 1/2" of slack near the throttle body.

ok will check that tomorrow. what will bleeding the cooling system do?

The ECU tells the engine to idle up when the engine is cold. The ECU gets the engine temperature signal from the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor. If air is trapped in the cooling system, the ECT can send false temp readings to the ECU. This is more common than you might think.

ok i will bleed it tomorrow but i still cant see how it would rev when clutch is pushed in

Former User

Well, even without pushing in the clutch, your idle speed is way high at 1200 rpm. It should be 700 rpm. I think pushing in the clutch and slowing down is just worsening this existing idle problem.

bump, still need help with this, changes intake manifold gasket and that helped a little but it still idles/revs high to like 3k for 1k when clutch or brake is pressed while car is still rolling...
