Idling Question (Video)

Whats up guys! I'm back for more! So ok, i warmed the car up about a minute before the video and i moved it back into the garage because it's supposed to snow soon...anyway, the rpms start idling at about 1.5k rpms and as soon as i lightly tap the gas pedal, the rpms drop to where it should be...then i give gas and it gets stuck again at 1.5, a light tap and it drops....any suggestions if it's serious or what?

I have the new 2011 G coupe and it idles at around 500 RPM.

Could be because of the 7 speed gearbox compare to the 5 speed in 2008.

Also I have no idea why your car does that. =/

Yea I have the 6MT as well, when in Neutral at a red light or whatever, I'm idling at 500-700rpms. So that's normal right?

I have an 09 7AT and when it is cold it idles high as it is supposed to, but when warm, is back down to normal. How many miles are on yours? Cleaned the throttle body?
