High RPM between gears

My 89 90q with 163k miles does not do this.  Isn't there a decel. fuel
shutoff in these cars.  Maybe that is not working correctly in yours.  Or
possibly bad or sticky pressure regulator?  Just some thoughts.

my 90Q does it too, I've been trying to observe it carefully... i
suspect something lets air that is not needed in for a moment after the
pedal is lifted.
