Today I took the day off work and rode over to harbor freight this morning. On the way back about half way home my motor was going to up around 1500-1700 rpm when I'd push the clutch down at stop lights etc. I thought the clutch sorta felt weird at one point but that could have been my imagination, it didn't happen again. I pulled in at the UPS store to drop something off and turned off the truck. When I started heading home I thought it was all OK because the first few minutes I didn't have the problem, it would idle down as normal (It has always seemed to take a little longer than I'd expect to slow down after I push in the clutch and the previous owner thought so too, I bought this quarterhorse programmer I have been intending to install at some point to try to figure out /address that problem) but then it started doing it again. Noticed as I was about to pull in the neighborhood that if I just pushed the clutch in and coasted it would idle down, but if I pressed the brake pedal it would rev right back up to around 1600.
Looked under the dash and noticed that one of the 2 wires going to the brake switch was broken. So I just fixed that and have not yet driven it. Maybe that has something to do with it and it'll be fixed, but regardless I'd like to understand the problem as I don't see why that would have anything to do with it and if it doesn't I've got a real problem I need to get figured out.
The motor is a 302 w/ '93 cobra EFI. 3speed transmission
