    Hi guys,
    Purchased the car a little while ago and all seems to be good. Started noticing a few days ago that sometimes when you clutch in, it holds its revs (say 1500-2000) and then drops shortly after. I also noticed that sometimes it drops its revs too low like 500rpm but then they pick up again.
    Today however it was quite hot (about 37degrees) and i did a lot of slow city driving. I noticed that when i clutched in, the revs would be at about 1500 and go up to 2000 and hold (they would hold a lot longer than normal!). They would drop at times, however other times i couldn't be bothered waiting and jabbed the accelerator and they dropped. Also, when it was stationary and i reved it a bit, sometimes the revs would drop too low and not pick up, and the car would stall.
    Is this normal????? Could it be overheating (i have the turtle shell cover)?

    Thanks,
    Adam

    Edit: I should re-phrase. I don't mean overheating as in overheating excessively, i mean just struggling with the very warm temperature. The temp gauge is in its normal position.
