View Full Version : engine speed remains high during gearshifts

when I lift my foot up the gas pedal to change gears, the engine continues to rev high, which forces me to wait a bit before depressing the clutch, and slows me down drastically.
i recently did a complete tune-up, in the hope that bad spark plugs or perhaps a dirty fuel filter could cause such erractic behavior. My idle has improved a lot, but the problem while changing gears still occurs from time to time.
Any ideas?

fuel injectors not closing in time thus making the rpms stay high. or u need a new throttle cable like i did. they get old and can get jammed up.

Does this mean I might have to change injectors? How do you check them?
