high revs when depressing clutch - ford focus zetec 1.8 1998

Unread post by charliebrownboy » Sat Aug 23, 2014 4:09 pm

On starting up from cold revs are about 1200 revs, if I put the car in first to move off the revs go high 2500 when clutch is depressed but drop to about a 1000 revs when gear engaged, this happens throughout the gear range, especially while the engine is warming up. Once warmed up this action still happens but revs not so high when clutch is depressed. I have checked for vacuum leaks but can find none and clutch is ok. sometimes I can be in 5th gear whilst doing 30 mph whilst not touching the throttle. Any help would be appreciated.

there is a combination of things to look at. the TPS, the IAC and throttle would be the main things to look at first. If your TPS is reading too high the PCM doesn't see your throttle as closing and thinks you are still driving down the road.
