I have witnessed some crazy things with my car lately...ive noticed that when i take my car out of gear and put it in neutral the idle likes to jump up...sometimes as high as 2500rpms...i have just a filter and a 3" turbo back allthough i dont believe they are what caused it...ive noticed that it will stick after i start my car back up after driving it, like maybe when the engine is hot? Ive gotten out of my car when the idle is high and i noticed when i push the throttle closed the idle will go down towards normal...ive sprayed some white lithium grease on the spring and cable but that didnt seem to help it out...have you guys experienced any problems like this? it is not surging, the idle stays steady...

i purchased my car a month ago and i recently raced it down philly and the clutch held up well and now it just slips like a mother f u ck er and smells like clutch forever...i dont know if this would affect my idle or not...someone told me that i need to bleed the pressure from my Slave cylinder and when i push my clutch in it makes a creeking sound near engagement....let me know thanks guys :dsm:
