Default Whats that called???

Whats the tech term for this??? You know how our mustangs, when you push in the clutch, the RPMs stay pretty steady and then after a few secounds of you holding the clutch in it finally falls slowly.... Versus say a honda civic, when you engage the clutch, the RPM falls immediately to almost nothing?

Its been buggin me all day because someone asked me about it and I can't think of the word. I know there is technical term for it.

Mucho Gracis!

If your looking in the 1999 to 2004 Repair manuel that you get at Auto Zone, I've tried that. Actually spent an hour today looking through it for it.

Day late and a dollar short 01GT! lol

I know of the decay rate because of the SCT software can be tuned to adjust it. I have a mac 75mm tb that has horrible metering so I use the SCT software to adjust the decay.

my rpms hang when the AC is on but I don't think the DDR will help that.
