250 revving??????????????

Hi all, new to the site but have been lurking for awhile. I need some help/suggestions in figuring out what's up with my truck. It's a '99 250 with the 6.8L when I'm up/down shifting (5 speed manual) as soon as I depress the clutch the engine revs up. This happens about 50-60% of the time.

Thanks in Advance

Steve

I don't know if the '99 V10 has one, but your symptoms sound exaclty like what happened to me when the IAC (Idle Air Control) in my '93 4.9L w/ manual trans went out.

I'm sure others will be along soon to correct me.

How much does it rev? My 03 Focus did this when shifting and Ford replaced the computer and it works so far.

I agree with rustyfuryiii. That sounds just like what happened with my '90 Bronco 5.0L with M5OD tranny. I got a new throttle assembly with the sensors and the problem went away. I assume it was the idle air control valve.
