Hi all. This is my first post so be kind to me.My 850 2.5 10valve runs and performs great BUT when I change gear or dip the clutch for any reason the revs take approx 2 seconds to die down resulting in a poor gearchange. If the engine is revved at standstill you can hear the revs hold on for this 2 second period and then come back to normal idle speed.Any ideas chaps.

Try cleaning the throttle body good and see if it helps.

Thanks for the tip,just had the body off and gave it a very good clean and cleaned the cannister vac stubs but made no difference.
It's very strange,when you coast along on over run the revs hold on about 2 seconds and then its just like a switch is turned off and you can feel the car then start to slow. If you are behind someone it's very scary because it's like you havenot released the throttle.
I have checked to make sure the throttle is closing(it is) and have checked for fault codes (none).
Only thing I have noticed is that the problem is not there untill car starts to warm up.HELP.

Your car is a manual shift correct?Most manual cars did that I think it has something to do with the programing of the computer.
