RPM goes up then down when slowing down

Hi, I have 2011 Scion TC, 13000 miles. Noticed the engine rpm sometimes goes up a little then down when I take my foot off the gas pedal or when I apply brake, feels like shift gear or like the gas and the brake are pushed at the same time. What is the problem? Please help. Thanks.

My 07 Tc does this also not sure why, but it helps me brake, could be that it is coming out of passing gear, and going back to last gear

SOURCE: i have 2006 scion xb and when driving the rpm

3500 is about normal for an xb at 65 mph. My previous ride was a pickup and rolled at about 2000-2500 on the highway. But the XB's engine is way more "tightly wound". Your rpm gage should run at about half of of your speed...ie: 70 mph will be about 35 (3500) rpm, 80 mph will be about 40 (4000) rpm. Freaked me out when I first got the thing, but after researching it Ive found out that with a stock engine it actually runs more efficient at the higher RPM's. The 06 boxes won't redline until 6000 rpm, so unless you are driving 120 on a frequent basis you're good. You can probably have it modified to run lower, but you will lose the awesome gas mileage and overall it is not going to improve the way it runs, and would have no benefit............

I have a 2008 Scion xB and accelerator pedal I can't accelerate very little but that's it it won't accelerate

scan it , it will tell you why.
if TBW fails throttle by wire fails speed is like 20mph max or less. on purpose., so scan it.
also if RPM is low foot ******* the throttle.?
then engine power lacks, scan it.
if RPM goes way high but MPH not same increase,the transmission is dead or slipping.

Why is 2011 Toyota Corolla that has 79,000 miles jerking on long distances?

Problems that only occur after 4 hours driving would be very difficult to diagnose. I would take it to a garage that has a professional grade scan tool and ask if they can access the historical data to check for the cause. Otherwise you just wait until it becomes a regular occurrence or the Engine Malfunction Light comes on.
