Hey guys, ever since ive bought my car. Ive relised that when im slowing down from 6th to neutral to a complete stop. It idles at like 1800rpm for around 5 seconds then it slowly drops down to about 1100rpm. I know this is not normal. Could someone please tell me what could be wrong? Its kinda annoying
Any help would be appreciated

Cheers guys

this has happened to me before aswell. If you're using k-pro, i'm guessing it's the idle setting in there.

Could be a heap of things mate, from vac leak, iacv, fitv, tune/ecu

You need to go over the car bit by bit and rule each part out.

yups found out the problem myself... Realised it was this knob it says boost
+ - turned it a lil bit, its connected to the intake arm. I turned it a lil and u cant really hear the air filter suction noise much, but before i turned it, u can hear the suction noise bad. now my car idles at 900rpm instead of 1800rpm =)
