ABS Malfunction?

[spicy pt]

First, I apologize if this is something already covered in the forum somewhere...honestly too busy to go searching through the archives.

I've noticed this happen a few times and am wondering if this is just my car or if it's happened to others: Upon coming to a stop (typically from a low speed of less than 25mph), it feels like my ABS kicks in, the car is slow to stop, and when I do finally come to a stop the tach revs to about 3000rpm. The only way I can get the tach to settle is to put the car in neutral and hit the accelerator and then is normalizes.

This doesn't happen all the time - maybe 3 times in the last few months. But, it's enough to make me nervous.

I come to you guys first before calling the dealer...[^] Any advice you can offer is most appreciated!

I agree completely, vacuum leak or stuck throttle cable?

Either way, don't wait get it in.

Thanks to you both for your input and your "diagnosis" fits with others I've received from my club members. I have an appointment at the dealership this week and will let you know what comes of it.

Update: Took the PT to the dealer on Friday and everyone was hoping that the problem generated a computer code, but we all know how that goes...no luck. Dealer was awesome - came out and said they want to keep the car for a few days to run deeper diagnostics and see if they can duplicate the problem. Unlike the last 2 dealerships (Saturn and Dodge) that I've dealt with, where I had to fight tooth-n-nail to get a loaner if they kept the vehicle, no fight here...I didn't even have to ask..."let us have the car for a few days and we'll set you up with a loaner." MAN, I LOVE MY DEALERSHIP!!! So, hopefully by the end of the week it'll be fixed and problem solved.

Hmmmm, wonder if I could talk them into loaning me a Crossfire to help ease the torment of being without my PT. hehehehehe

Get them to lend you the 300C HEMI!

Other than from a performance (pure power) perspective, I don't like the new 300C. I think the body style is way too boxy and "truck like" for a luxury car. I'd go for a PT Convertible for a few days too if they can't fork over the Crossfire.
