Sup guys, lately the bullitt has been giving me some problems. The rpms are hanging, i'll push the clutch in and it will stay reved to 2000, 1500, 1200 or somewhere in between without my foot on the throttle. Then if i give it gas pretty hard up to like 4k, it will usually come back down to normal idle. I checked under the hood and the throttle linkage and device that moves on the throttle body isnt stuck. The only thing I could think it would be is that i havent had my oil changed in like 7000 miles...i know thats bad, just havent gotten around to it. This is really weird to me, it has only happened like 3 times in the past week, never before. Any ideas??? Hope this tranny doesnt need a rebuild... thanks
