Subject: Re: Throttle Sticking When Changing Gears on 2003 9-3 HELP!


I also have a 2003 9-3 SS. I notice that the Idle does not decrease at the rate that I was used to seeing. I asked my Tech here in New Mexico, and after a long discussion we came to the conclusion it's normal. Now, this is also the first car I have owned with a turbo. If you put logic behind this the turbo has to run down before the idle will go down. I am not sure this will help you but I just got used to it. And I can say that my car runs fine. I get about 35MPG, and have never had a problem since Dec 2002 when I picked the car up.
