I am going to try and figure this out if it kills me!! It's a simple story. Once the car has warmed up it idles down and runs fine; until you move the car.
First gear to the end of the block, second gear around the corner, bring to a full stop at the first real intersection, depress the clutch and the idle hangs around 1100-1200. And it will almost always stay there. It almost never idles down on its own. Take the car out of 2nd gear and it idles right down.
If I have not come to a full and complete stop the idle will hang until I do and shift out of whatever gear I am in. If I put it in 1st too soon while coming to a stop it will hang and I have to take it out of 1st again to bring the idle down.
Put the car in 1st, enter traffic and drive. Come to a traffic light in any gear and come to a stop. Idle hangs until you have come to a complete stop and shifted out of 3rd or 4th. Idle drops. Shift into 1st, kick the pedal and roll slightly forward, depress clutch and the idle hangs again. Take it out of gear and it idles right down again.
This is all on a warm engine. On a cold engine the same symptoms exist but the idle rpsm's are higher and the prblem is more pronounced.
I have already replaced the sensor in the transmission and it made no difference. Now I want to get some feedback before I just start replacing parts for the sake of it.
Anyone else ever have this issue??
