    95 GT Engine speed rises in between shifts

    Anyone know what would cause my engine speed to rise in between shifts?

    I have to push in the clutch, wait a few seconds, and then shift to deal with it.

    It is pretty annoying.
    It has been doing this since I got the car, prior to any of my mods. The only existing mod that was done was a cold air intake. The guy before me did that.

    Any advice or help is most appreciated.

    Yeah, that would make sense. I put those things onto my new 65mm throttle body.

    As was said, check the IAC. The TPS shouldn't be a problem because unlike the fox bodies, the 94-95 takes the voltage at startup as a reference point, so setting it to the normal .99 volts isn't really an issue unless its WAY off. Usually you can't adjust it on a 94-95 anyway as the holes are not slotted to move the sensor. This is a fairly common occurrence as well for these cars.

    Thanks. I did replace both the TPS and IAC. I did not do anything to set the TPS... I just bolted it on. Not sure exactly how to set it anyway.

    But I do know this... the problem did not get any better -and- I have heard that about the bastard children - that they can have this issue.

    Do you think a dyno tune will take care of it?

    The TPS generally doesn't need set in a 94-95 since the EEC takes a reference voltage at startup and uses it as its baseline. I'm sorry that your problem isn't fixed... I don't know what else to try off the top of my head. A tune may not solve it either especially since this is a driveability issue and most tuners lack the knowledge to fix such problems on the 94-95's. I'd send Don LaSota an email at LaSota racing and ask him if he thinks a tune could fix it. He is a great guy that I have known for years and he knows his way around the inner workings of a 94-95 EEC.

    Has anyone seen this by chance? I would like to get opinions as to whether this sounds like it is valid information prior to me trying it out.
