Engine revs at red lights

Hi,

I have a problem where the engine revs on its own when I am stopped at a light. My foot is on the brake and the gear in neutral. Any ideas of the problem?

Sure your foot isnt barely touching the gas? Happens to me sometime. How high does it rev too?

You could also check for air leaks around the CAI, that can cause the car to rev slightly

I was told from a tech that it is normal. It's the Supercharger sucking in air so it makes the rpms go up a little. I like it. Makes it sound like its breathing. hehe
