Continued acceleration problem not cured by replacing clutch switch, any other ideas?

hi guys,

My golf doesn't back off straight away after lifting off the throttle, it's most noticeable at higher revs and under hard acceleration. This causes the revs to rise a little when changing gear.

I was advised that it was most probably the clutch hall sensor, but have replaced this and the problem remains.

I have also replaced the throttle pedal assembly, run some turbo cleaner through the air intake and checked vacuum lines for splits and as far as I can tell they are okay.

Anyone got any other suggestions that could be the cause of this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Nick.

is there only one clutch switch/sensor, or two?

Just the one mate.

On a Diesel, you can severely damage your engine by running a cleaner through the intake. Plus, it will not really clean anything.

maybe the TPS? I had a similar issue with an old toyota pickup and that little stupid tps potentiometer was an easy fix to a horrible problem.
