this used to rarely happen but now it happen twice today, and it happend in my friends evo too, only at high rpms. i was driving at full throttle and shifted into 2nd, and had to slow down so i took it out of gear but the rpms drop slowww, im pretty sure its still engaged in gear somehow because the rpms drop with the wheels. when it used to happen i would push in the clutch and the rpms would drop to idle, but this time they didnt drop until i put it into another gear and pulled out the clutch. im pretty stumped as to why this would happen. any ideas?

 

it happens to me also, its not very often, but i do wonder wtf makes it do it too.

 

anyone have an idea about this?

 

There are a couple of threads about this. Not sure what causes it. Sounds like a stuck throttle plate or bad idle air controller.

 

but it slows down with the wheel speed. it happend a couple times in a row to me a while back, and i hit the brakes hard to slow down faster and the rpms went down faster

 

We've discussed this more than a few times. It's a built-in feature.

 

Possibly a bad TPS sensor maybe? Maybe your clutch isn't fully disengaging the flywheel (throw out bearing failure)?

 

i never read it, otherwise i wouldnt have asked. any more info, or a different thread i could look at?

 

Yeah, lots of them - just have to search.

 

Its "rpm hang" and is normal ECU programming.

 

What about if you go WOT and then put it into neutral and the rpms will still hang?

 

Doesnt the evo do this for emisions control?

 

if u unplug the clutch 2step itll do it everytime, in every gear..


thats how i taugh 3 people how to drive stick on my car.. makes driving for newbies easier

 

search ftw...

 

yea, only happens on rare occasions??
