Default Strange problem with rpm's....

for some reason if i try to hold the idle at like 3000 rpm with the clutch in...every few seconds it drops to 2000 then back to 3000....almost like a rev control or somethin....any ideas???

This is a 99 civic si with a vortech supercharger by the way

What about maybe a vaccum leak around the injectors....could that cause this?

Is it just on your tach that it does this, or can you feel/hear the engine dropping? If you can actually feel the engine dropping, you'd probably get better help from the FI forum. Otherwise you may just not be running enough power to the tach (wiring too thin/worn out).
