Ghost rev???
Okay now another issue or concern I also have haha…. Anyways my car is 6spd Manual so this is concerning. When coming to a stop and I leave the car in neutral and I’m slowly coming to a complete stop my rpm will start to rise even if my car is in neutral. It’ll rev up to 1 PRM or even to about 2RPM automatically. If the car slowly starts to roll forward as well it does the same thing the RPMS rises and I have to step on the clutch to make it stop. Kind of tired of pushing in the clutch EVERY TIME when I come to a complete stop. So if anyone know what a potential fix or knows what the issue could be please don’t be shy and help your boy out! As always suggestions and ideas are always appreciated. Thank you in advance again!!!!
I will try to attach a video to show a better example of what I mean hopefully it’s able to be shown !

No but if I’m in low RPM in like a low gear it’ll kinda start to like jolt almost like a cam type of thing. Only happens when I’m in neutral

if I’m reading your other question correctly, no when I press the clutch the revving doesn’t happen but if I’m in neutral and only using my brakes then yes the revving will happen. Now for when I’m in gear the car doesn’t rev by itself but like I said it’ll like jolt back and forth like if I’m trying not to stall out. Hopefully this helps

It's not exactly flashing the CPU. Think of it as a program loaded into the car. Someone with the right tool can load whatever program you like, including a stock tune. But if your current tune is not stock there is likely a reason someone changed it. Headers or other modifications. A tuner will look at how the car is performing, fuel trims, sensor readings, etc. They will use that information to create the "tune" they think will work best, then load that into your car.

Funny - this is what mine does as well, only it happens on start up and will happen with the clutch pressed while coming to a stop. It eventually settles down mostly.
I bought mine with headers and de-catted x pipe and in pretty rough condition. Not sure what else was done (doesn't sound cammed?) but my shop is almost positive there's a tune in it that isn't correct. I'm just trying to find the time to get it in there and on the dyno for a look-see.

Yeah HAHA I’m sure I’m not. Happens even if the car slowly starts to roll by itself the car will slowly rev by itself

2023 C6 of the Year Finalist - Modified
I had the same issue, however I did do some detective work, I have nearly cleared the issue. My LS7 powered 2007 Base with an A & A S/C, Belanger Custom Tri-Y Headers, High Flow Cats, ported and polished cathedral heads, was tuned with the same "wandering idle" that would show up when at a stop. It would rev from the "resting rpm" of 750 (tuned to that rpm), and on its own, would rev up to 1,500 rpm, then back down to 1,000 then eventually after about 5-10 seconds would "settle" at 750. Then it threw the P0101 and P0121 codes. I erased the codes and after driving 20-25 miles the CEL came on, and the same codes returned. I decided to just change the accelerator pedal AND the MAF sensor. After changing them, I drove the car to a cruise-in last night (about 10 miles from my house) and on the way the CEL went off, and as I drove the car, the "at rest" idle is now settled down to the 750rpm, with only an occasional "wandering" to 900-1,000 rpm for a few seconds, but then settles back to the tune set of 750rpm. That was my ordeal. Hope this might help you get the bottom of your "wandering idle!"
