Has anyone noticed that when you come to a complete stop, the revs will sit around 2200 instead of dropping back down to 750 where it should be?? It does it for a bit, then i just put it in gear and engage the clutch to bring the revs back down, but i just want to know if its normal for this car to do this.
cheers. its nothing serious i dont think otherwise i woulda taken it back in to the dealership...just curious if others are experiencing the same thing. 8)
Mine does the same thing! I thought it was weird at first too, don't know why it does it though...if any one knows, I'd be interested???
Sounds like something a quick call to the Sales Person who sold you the car and the subsequent service department Reps. at the dealership might quickly fix. Personally, the way I see things with cars is that if I know it aint something I did (as in a mod that may be doing something fishy) and I can't easily just take a look and listen and find something going on, I just call the dealer. The worst that happens is they request I swing it by to let them take a quick look/listen. Most of the time though, they will be able to explain and clear things up in a quick 5 minute conversation.

ive had that problem to but it only occored to me after a canyon run i always thought it was cause i rev high for long periods of time but daily driving never happened to me. maybe you drving too fast for just not shifting at high rpm thos are the only thing i can think of.
Im surprised noone has addressed this issue yet. Im posting this directly from a Mitsubishi Tech article. PLEASE make this a stickey. Thanks Btw, im just a new person visiting the forum, along with skimming through evolutionm.net and some others. ^_^ Slow Return of Engine RPM to Idle 2008−on Lancer w/Manual Trans. Customers with a ’spirited’ driving style may notice a slight delay in the engine rpm returning to idle when they come to a stop. The ECM is controlling the idle speed similar to a dash pot on a vehicle with a carburetor, This should prevent damage to the catalytic convertor due to the normal mixture enrichment associated with higher RPM driving. The time it takes for the idle speed to stabilize is based on the engine speed when the clutch is depressed. The higher the engine speed, the longer the delay. This is a normal characteristic of this powerplant and is limited to vehicles with a manual transmission. The condition will not be noticed during normal driving. Claims should not be submitted for diagnosing this condition.
