I have a 2001 manual and I notice this problem yesterday. I had my AC oto defrost. The AC work at time but at times didnt do it's defrosting at all the it got real humid inside to a point that I couldn't see a thing out the windshield.

BUT the real problem I notice is at during that time the engine got real noisy like someones pressing on the gas in neutral which I wasn't I was at a ful stop. Also after that incident I notice that everytime I release the gas padel RPM surge 500 to 1000 before it drop. It's really strange. Isn't the RPM suppost to drop the moment I release the gas?

At this point it's not really that but of a deal but I have a bad feeling about this. Could it be the clutch wearing out? or is it a enegine problem? or maybe just electrical problem? I really don't know but this is not the 1st and I help some of you know the problem and can help out

Thanks

Since you have a stick shift, the momentary rise then drop in rpms is normal. It's part of the effort to control emissions. It's been around since the mid 70's. Before you could defeat/control the rise in rpms by adjusting the dashpot, now it's impossible since everything is computer controlled. It is most noticable when the weather is cold. I wouldn't worry about it unless it stayed at a higher rpm and doesn't drop back down to normal within a reasonable amount of time.

As far as your defroster, try different settings, closed or cabin recirculation, then the outside/fresh air settings and see if one of them makes a difference (usually the former). There also may be a dirt or dust film on the inside of your windshield/interior glass that needs to be cleaned off before you can have a faster or more effective defrosting.
