Default Idleing Problem

Seems ever since I put my flowmaster exhaust on the car takes a long time to idle back down between gears. When shifting the engine RPM's stay around 2500 and if I just coast it takes about 3 to 4 seconds to drop to my normal 750. Is my throtle sticking?..TC

Clean out your IAC and lines. Could be carbon build up.

If the IAC cleaning doesn't take care of it, next step is your TPS. (Throttle Position Sensor).

Mine does this sometimes when I do a mod. I usually just unhook the battery cable for about 15 min and then it's fine after that. It sometimes will still hang around 1500 for a couple days or so then go back to normal. I don't know why it does it.

Engine computer probably recalibrating itself...
