(T) Advise needed on idle/rev problem

Hi there.

I drive a Palio Go2(1.2).

Lately i picked up a problem.(heared its quite common on the new fiats.)

When driving around in town, everytime i going for a gear change, and pressed the clucth the revs doesn't drop.example.i pull away and go for 3000rpm.as soon as i let off the gas and pressed the clutch the revs just stays there.

also with this problem comes, when i slow down to stop and the car reach idle it jumps up and idles at 1500rpm to 2500rpm.Why.

Please Help if You know of anything that might solve the problem.

Its been to fiat twice now for that same problem but it keep re-appearing.

I toke my car for a drive just know.i picked up something odd.
i was standing at the lights and holding my foot on the brake.my brakes got soft and the revs started to climb.....WHY???????.

could it be vacuum........and if it is.How do you check or fix it.

If it has one - try disconnecting the clutch pedal switch. If it improves the situation then I would replace the switch as it helps smooth the gear changes.

Holding your foot on the brakes will start to deplete the servo of air over time as the engine provides the servo with air - if there is a leak or more demand on the brakes then the engine will increase revs to compensate.

Check for leaks on the vacuum side of the servoas well.

Thanks will do so.
