2002 Kia Sportage, 4x4, 5spd manual. 2.0L
Runs fine.
Starts up fine, rpms around 1000.
After putting in gear and driving (having depressed the gas pedal), the rpms "stick" at a bit over 2000, when I depress the clutch, i.e. sitting at a traffic light. If I give the gas pedal a quick tap with my foot, the rpms will come back down to normal.

Thanks. That's pretty much what I figured. Already bought the cleaner, just thought I'd get a sanity check.
