Engine revving in neutral

When I have cruise set on my dads 01, the engine will hover around 2,000 RPM if I shut off the cruise and put it in neutral. I first noticed this when coasting down a huge hill, so don't think I am out tearing it up. Do the sensors try to match RPM with wheel speed?

Yes. The tranny tries to closely match the engine speed with the speed of the axles.
