Your comment about the rpm's taking too long to drop may be a personal issue or perhaps your standards are just different than mine, but this is not a problem I have had generally with my car. The ONLY time I had an issue with this was when I was having problems with my TPS. These problems ocurred after installing my plenum and larger TB. I damaged the TPS during the job, but did not realize it until I put it all back together.

When I replaced the TPS, the rps responded as they had before. I merely suggest this since I can not hear your engine. But, you may want to try replacing the TPS. They run about $30. I would ask the parts supplier that you use if you can return it if you see no change. Also, before trying this, you may want to disconnect your battery and then hook it back up again. Then start the car and let it idle for about 10 minutes. This will re-program your computer. I don't think this will help, but it is worth a try. Takes only seconds. You must follow this same procedure when installing a new TPS too.

Just a thought.
