volvo T5 throttle sticking

[yum]

Now I know that there are several of you closet T5 drivers out there...

my recently acquired 1996 T5 runs on - when I dip the clutch changing up, the revs often climb and then fall. In the same way, when approaching a corner, lifting the throttle (occasionally) does not result in a drop in speed. Is this normal, or is there a problem? I have tried WD40 on the throttle mechanism.

Thanks

My t5 did this from the moment i got it to the moment i sold it, its pretty normal on these beasts, something to do with burning unburnt fuel, but one of the guys at the volvo forums could fill you out in more detail.

Could just be the EMS programme - there can be times when it is necessary to "flare" the reves when unloading the engine (eg during a gearchange) to ensure that the emissions regs are met. Unless its climbing over 500 rpm and lasting more than a sec or so, then I wouldn't worry about it too much...
