I have a new 07 civic with only 2800 KM and today the throttle wants to fight with the brakes. I came close to rear-ending a dozen cars on the way home from work today.

What is happening is when I try to come to a stop it seems the engine wants to continue reving at about 2200 RPM's for about 5 seconds and then it will drop down to idle. Other times I just have to give the gas a quick snap to get the engine back to idle.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? I understand the civic is now drive by throttle; since there is no cable what is causing the engine to rev. I am going to have the car towed to the dealer since I find this problem unsafe for driving.

does it do it when you are in neutral? you could try lubing the little half-moon thing your throttle is hooked up to on the engine side.

Take it to the dealer. Sounds like DBW, might need to be reflashed.

I've got news for u. ALL the new civics do this. they hold their RPMs for a few seconds when shifting gears. I believe someone said u can take this in, and they'll fix it.

This has been happening to my 2008 Civic also in automatic. I contacted Honda of North America. They send a corporate lawyer and had a local dealership check my car out and found nothing wrong. They suggested I was making it up. It happened to me earlier and I have two witnesses and have it on video.
