I have a '97 with manual trans I just bought. When upshifting, the revs hang for a few beats before they drop. This means smooth shifts aren't possible unless I do so very slowly. Also, when driving down the road and releasing the throttle, it takes about 2 seconds for the revs to drop and get some engine braking.

This kind of sucks because prior to replacing a faulty idle air control valve, upshifts were quick and smooth. I cleaned the throttle body (without removing) and made sure the throttle cable, etc were all working right. I even disconnected the battery for an hour in an attempt to reset the computer. Any ideas? Air leak? Normal behavior? (I don't think so)
