I took my Grandma's Corsa for a short ride today and I have another question regarding your 1.0 engine: After pulsing and throwing it into neutral, does it take its sweet time to get back to idle rpm?
Maybe it's the engine itself, or maybe all gassers compare similarly to turbodiesels, but my 1.6HDi goes from 2000rpm down to 800 in about 1/3-1/4 the time
When driving the 1.0 gasser today, on a few occasions the engine would still be above idle rpms when I was ready for another pulse after a shorter coast. And it didn't even have that many rpms to lose since I kinda kept it in the diesel range (1500-2500, instead of 2000-3500).
