88 Camry Engine Question

Guys,
My driving habbit is to put the gear in neutral when I know the car doesn't need power, so I can save some gas and reduce the exhaust (well, I believe it may slow down the global greenhouse effect a little bit). Like when I am about to exit the highway, I put the gear in neutral so the car slides thru. I have done this for more more than 20 years and never experience any problems on the engine or transmission.
Normally when I go in neutral, the engine rpm drops immediately to idle. But for my 88 camry, the engine always roars up to about 3500 rpm for about 2 seconds then drops to idle. Few times it drops immediately.
Does anyone know anything about it? Could it be the fuel pressure?

probally just a sticky throttle linkage or frayed cable.
Spray some rp7 onto the throttle linkage that joins to the side of the throttle body, you may even want to remove it.
