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

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?

M.

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

Also it does have an anti stall system fitted

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.
