Slow Return to Idle

[Boggy]

Just wondered if this is normal as I've never owned the fly by wire throttle version before

My Exige S seems to be suffering with slow return to idle, I'm the 2nd owner and it's done around 2800 Miles? does anyone experience this with there Exige s. Also could anyone tell me roughly what Mpg they get I know what Lotus quote but I'm talking about real world driving

Apparently it's normal. If the car is still rolling the ECU doesn't let the engine go into its lowest idle mode. Probably to do with smoothness when changing gears casually.

Nice one, Junks said the same thing and it's not that I didn't believe him just wanted it clarified

It's allegedly a feature of the ECU software. when my car was serviced, the ECU software was upgraded and I was told about this new feature. Should drop when you actually stop. Apparently it's a fix to the anti-stall.

My K-series VVC 111S does the same - very effectively too
