Default car idling fast

My car idles fine at a cold start but after Im driving and a depress the clutch, the car will idle at about 1300 rpm and then go down after 2 or 3 seconds then it will idle normally. It almost always does this after Im driving and then I go to depress the clutch. It used to go right down to about 800 rpm as soon as I put the clutch in. Does anyone have an idea as to what may contribute to this lag? Thanks in advance!

Is the clutch vacuum assisted? Sounds like a vacuum leak to me. Also try the advice above.

pull the battery cable for a while....will clear the computer of all the "learned" values.

could also try just unplugging the TPS with the ignition on...let it sit for a minute then plug it back in.

then start it up and let it idle for a few minutes

yup sounds like a vacum leak somewhere. Or maybe a sensor. Is it throwing a code?
