Problem with revving in neutral

aggietubagod · Jul 20, 2006

I have an 06' GT with a standard, and whenever I shift to neutral, the car will just start revving up to 3,000 RPM's. I could be cruising at 800 in 5th, but the minute I shift to neutral to coast to a stop sign, it starts revving. Has anyone else had an issues with this? I'm gonna try taking it to the dealer soon, and have it looked at, but if anyone has any ideas.

Something's not right. I have an '05 GT manual tranny and have no such issues. See your dealer quick.

my idle will raise to about 1000-1200 at a stop or after cruising for a while

time to check the TPS.

bigcat, pardon my stupidity, but TPC? Thanks to all those who've posted. At least I know not to just overlook it

tps = throttle position sensor

I had the same problem once, check the floor mat mine was shoved up under the gas pedel and was making it rev?

aggietubagod · Jul 20, 2006

It's odd, if I push the clutch in, the RPM's drop to 1000, but if it's in neutral by itself, it's at 3000. I'm about go adjust the mats and see if that helps

An update for any of you that care. I ran it by the local ford dealership, and was told this is normal operation for the mustang. It's supposed to have high RPM's.

He insists that it is only because the car only has 2000 miles

Did they even scan the pcm? I know mine does not do that!

My '06 GT/5spd has never done this! That dealer is crazy for telling you this!!

Ahh The Infamous Revving in Neutral Problem. There is already a couple of threads about this mostly on the v6 models. I have concluded that the dealers are dumbarses and can't do nothing for it cause they can only use a factory tune.
I ran an experiment a while back by disconnecting the tranny sensor (VSS)and low and behold it actually cured the problem but you cant go with out a speedometer. If you noticed when you push the clutch in then the revs will drop off, Once again I hint at a fricked up tune
So it seems that ppl with SCT tuners and have custom tunes don't have this problem. When my warrenty is out I'll be tuning mine only 16000 miles to go.
Sad aint it, U pay 25k for a car that revs up when your coasting next to some hot babe in a camaro.

Got the car back last night, and the dealer still claims the same thing. However, it's not doing it anymore, one of their tests appears to have corrected the problem, at least temporarily.

It's kinda funny, they admit the problem on report, says, "test drove, verified concern. TSB says says car should be at 6000 in neutral." Apparently, they think I'm stupid since this is my first standard I wish I knew someone higher-up at Ford to ask about it, sure would be nice when I get the stupid satisfaction survey back from this dealer.

If it acts up again, I'll take it to another dealer.

WTF??????? 6000 rpm in neutral?? what a bunch if idiots!!

The Fang · Jul 23, 2006

He must have ment 600 but there aint no tellin

Here we go again

Just thought I'd let everyone know it's doing it again. Except it's worse this time, pushing in the clutch doesn't help. My car shakes quite violently when shifting into first gear at 4000-6000 RPMS. The dealership now can't find this issue, so they gave me this cool looking to sensor to push to record the data of when it's doing it so they can find it.

I removed the floormats and haven't turned cruise on to help pinpoint the problem, anyone have any other ideas?

WOW, i didnt think it would even go into first at 4000 RPM.
