Weird Engine Revving

[Petroman]

Hey all,

I've been having an issue that has plagued my 2015 FiST since I bought the car. It is a sporadic problem that I am unable to replicate consistently. When I am turning left and go to shift into second the car will randomly rev up without me touching the gas pedal and hold at that particular rpm range until I either continue to hold in the clutch to let it settle down or I dump the clutch. It'll sometimes rev to 3k rpms but it has occasionally revved all the way to 5k. The car currently has 1100 miles on it, and like I said, I have been unable to replicate this for the dealer. It usually happens when the car has first been driven after sitting for a little while. Anyone ever experienced this issue?

When I am turning left....

Only then?

Only then?

Oddly enough, that is the only time I've experienced this issue. I'll begin the left hand turn and short shift first gear. Immediately after I push in on the clutch the rpms will rise and hold for about 5-10 seconds and then finally come down. There were a couple instances where it revved so high I was startled and popped the clutch.

Not to be an a$$hat,but is it possible that you're inadvertently catching the gas pedal while on the brake?

100% agree with you. I thought this is exactly what was going on because I have big feet and the pedals are rather small, but as it started happening more often I anticipated the random revving. When I saw the rpms start climbing I completely pulled my foot away from the gas and brake pedals just to make sure I wasn't accidentally revving. When I did this, the rpms remained and confirmed it was not because of user error.

Just because I've done it
