Freelander 2 (LR2) Rev Dip when stopping 2008 HSE Manual.

Landy-Max · Jan 17, 2018

Oddity, not an issue - but wondered if others do it?

OK, so - warm engine - driving along, empty road - traffic light goes red, put car into neutral. Roll to a stop - using the brakes.

As I stop the rev's dip to maybe 500, to the point when my brain says, I must still be in gear and dip the clutch (in panic to avoid stalling) - only for my to realize - I am in neutral. The rev's bounce to 900-1050 and then settle at normal idle (regardless of if I dip the clutch in panic).

It never stalls, but I have never seen this in a car - could it be the vacuum?

Anyone else get this?

Petrol or diesel?

I had a V8 that would get an irratic idle at the lights, was a loose connection on the MAF - wiggle the connector and its be all good for another few weeks.

Diesel - sorry.

Sticky throttle butterfly or EGR valve possibly.

They are both located at the front of engine - on top of each other right?

I’ll spray with WD40 at the weekend

See what happens

hi ,I also have this problem but only if I take it out of gear too early.
pulling up to a junction or lights .like you say no problem you just think it is going to stall .I also have hesitation on hard acceleration.
can be scary at a junction.
