    are all EFI's like this?

    When I come to a stop, my engine idles at 1250 rpm. 3 or 4 seconds after, it drops to the normal 800 rpm.

    Anyone is experiencing this?

    My RPMs only bounce around when i'm in P. They're always steady when I'm at a red light in drive gear (as far as I can remember anyway).

    show or fast it doesn't matter, the idle sticks up.

    If I just rev it I got no problem. But if I'm moving and depress the clutch, it will idle at 1200 until I come to a stop.

    My guess is that the Speed sensor has something to do with it....

    My second guess is the TPS . I'll check the TPS fisrt.

    Well night, I also wondered if the coolant could be the problem.

    I DO hear the coolant bubbling in the heater core when I start the car in the morning (like there was air in the system)

    I need to do a coolant flush anyway and I planned to do it this week (I got more water than prestone as of now. Cold nights now scare me )

    my car did that... i was told it was normal... it does fall within the specs for high idle, so that's what i figured it was

    My car does that now.
    If I can remember, it didn't a while back.
    I don't think it's the throttle cable either. Must be something else.
