Hello. When I depress the clutch and my car is rolling, sometimes the revs will go down from 400 to 700 rpm for a second before going back up to a normal idle of 900rpm. If I rev the car up a little bit and we're still rolling (with my foot on the clutch) they will do the same thing once I stop touching the gas pedal. It's hard to explain online, but my mechanic says he drove it for a while and he never saw anything wrong. I personally don't think it's normal since I never drove a car that did this before. Sometimes it will do it, sometimes it wont. I got the IAC cleaned and nothing changed. Some people told me it could be a vaccum leak but the mechanic said nothing was wrong. It seems to be worse when the engine is partially warmed up ( when the temp gage is not half way yet ) and when it's raining outside, but it will do it (a bit less) in mostly any weather. Please help me since I'm affraid to drive that car.
