Default stuck idle

alright, im going to explain the best way i can without getting to complicated, when im driving lets say in third and im at 3 grand and then i depress the clutch it would still be at 3 for like ten seconds if not longer and still it would drop to like 2 grand and stay there it wouldnt drop all the way!

when it happens put your toes UNDER the pedal and pull up slightly. do not be to hard as u dont want to break anything, but try it and see if it comes down.

Just get a sign that says "I can't drive for ----" and put it on the back of your car.

Problem solved.

Seriously, figure out what the problem is, then we can talk about how to fix it. Comprende?

That was happening with mine. i just ended up cleaning the TB out. There was a bunch of build-up keeping it from closing tight when I just let off the throttle normally. Cleared everything up.
