have had my nissan micra initia for a week now,bought it
second hand on a 56 plate.i think there is a fault or it
could be normal for this car.hopefully someone can give
me some advice.here goes.when i am driving and coming to
slow down and release the accelerator and dip the clutch
to go into a lower gear the rev counter revs higher to
1.5 revs or just above while the clutch is still down and
then seems to go back to normal.it does this when
stopping for traffic lights and then a few seconds later
settles back to ideling at 1 on the rev counter.also have
noticed that it will happily plod along slowly in first
or second gear when the clutch is released,,,can anyone
help please,is this normal.or is it just me? thanks.

whens the last time it was serviced ??

it may just need a good serivce and the intake cleaning

does it over rev any other time. what car did you have before the micra ?

SORRY FORGOT TO MENTION,WHEN IT IS RUNNING IT SEEMS TO REV
OK AND NOT OVER REV.SEEMS ODD IT WOULD DO IT WHEN YOU DIP
THE CLUTCH WITH THE ACCELERATOR OFF .

the throttle on the newer nissans are sensitive even if you rest your foot on the pedal it may rev

just seem odd that revs only when changing gear

did it do it when you test drove the car ?

Halfords carb cleaner and an old toothbrush
Engine off! locats and remove rubber trunking to throttle
butterfly hold butterfly open and spray with carb cleaner
and clean all gunk off with toothbrush.
Will splutter and cough but will start and run fine.
Done this on umpteen cars all with idle or low speed
control problems.
