er - can you be a little bit more descriptive of the issue you have?

is it that when you are crawling along in snow and change up then you find the car accelerates?  Say you are crawling in 2nd then change up to third, the revs gain from 500 to say 700???

If so this is normal - the ICV is kicking in to get engine speed up.  there is nothing wrong mine does it as well.

another test/ onservation - put it in first gear - no throttle, and let it climb a hill - it will just keep climbing - why?  the idle control valve opens up to maintain idle speed even though the engine load has increased

that sounds like it going to cost well the revs are just idaling at about 500 or 600 and it will just todel along in 3 doing about 15mph or 9mph in second :-?

So to be clear, your drivin along in snow at tickover without touching the gas pedal, your changing the auto box gear manually, and wondering why the speed is altering according to the gear your selecting?

Original post says it's a 'manuel' gearbox .......

Oh yes, so it does. In that case i dont understand the why the op is concerned? Is he worried why the revs increase  200 rpm without touching the pedal? Sounds normal to me. But then he should have got a normal auto box like us sensable people. :-)

i was thinking exactly the same - those speeds are normal at idle arnt they?

i dont think you have a problem at all

is this your first car?
