Question 2.4L engine rpm's issue?

Ok I wasn't sure if I should put this in problems etc but its a 2.4Lss so I put it here.. Soo this is what happened..

I went for a cruize in my town here and yes I was speeding (140kmph) on a nice stretch. And anyways I had been off and on the gas before such event mentioned when I started to take her easy and let her come back to earth when I noticed the rpms were'nt coming down as quik as you would think!! Then they would and go up again and I would have to give her some gas to knock em down again..

Just curious if anyone with any model Cobalt has had this problem?? I push my car good sometimes and have never had this issue b4Did I something up??[/B]

No, I didnt feel like them ******* it up.

They always tend to brake something else thats not warrantied each time im in there under a warranty.


I go in for my springs being too squeeky....few days later, my rotors are warped and my brakes are shot because of the uneven surface....they said its because of the way i drive my car.

I just need to wait until my warranty expires, so I can do all the work myself.

IS it suppose to rev higher than that cuz i have that same issue but isn't that just the rev limiter?
