Idle stays high after throttle blip when in drive |
|
Hi last question today I promise !
Noticed that at low speed if I blip the throttle the disco keeps pulling for a few seconds, as if the accelerator was still pushed down a little. Then the revs return to idle. This could well be nothing and just me not used to a disco but I thought I’d ask

Is the temperature gauge doing anything weird when it happens. Think it was the oil temperature sensor caused mine to do that.

Hi sarumlight, not noticed anything on the temp gauge will run the gap live test on the oil temp sensor…

My manual D3 does this too. It also doesn't drop the revs quick enough on gear changes giving it a little "flare" when I put the clutch in. It seems to have been exacerbated when I had the DPF and EGRs mapped out. The flare happens on every change. The "keep going like my boot is on the pedal" happens frequently enough to be annoying, but almost impossible to reproduce when I'm trying to catch it on an iiD log. Can require a bit of evasive action in car parks when it decides to do it.
