the car im talkin about is a 1996 850 T5 Manual

noticed this and its buggin me a bit incase its a simple fix

driving normally along the road goin up thru the gears and every time u dip clutch to engage next gear with ur foot right off the throttle the car revs up 0.5k for a split second.

and you notice it when u take ur foot off the throttle to let the engine slow the car down, it doesnt for a few seconds, you feel the car still pulling.

is this something to do with the cruise control? or a vacuum pipe for something?

hope you guys can help

My car also does this, i've changed and clean the idle control that i had as a spare, and it still does it.

Throttle body next i think as cant find any air leak

I thought this was "normal operation" for the revs to flare slightly when changing gear in a manual....?
