Hey guys,

I noticed that when I shift gears the engine revs to about 3k rpms. Is this normal?

Alright, just kidding man, but it is hard to help with such limited info. Auto, I presume?

If manual, does it idle high?

Have you replaced your IAC recently? My 03 started doing that after I put an Autozone brand IAC on, and wouldn't stop until I got an OEM replacement
