Fiesta 1.3 encore 1998 s reg revs when changing gear?

Hi

My ford fiesta 1.3 encore 1998 s reg has done about 25,000 miles.

When you put the clutch in to change gear it sometimes revs. When you pull off in gear it returns to normal. Any ideas what the problem is?

i disconnected the battery for 2 hours note the radio security code thus resetting the ecu any mechanic recommends doing this every 3 months on a mk4 fiesta encore and most cars apart from hyandai daewoo .
especially after fitting a 12 quid patent idle control valve off ebay .
this sorted my over revving / stalling encore

Mine does just the same. I was told to clean the vent pipes that eminate from the oil filler cap and replace the filler cap. Unfortunately this did not work on mine but may do on yours. Did you ever find another answer?
