Help: RPMs bottom out after high revs

Is that roof black or blue? Love the Sport Seats- they are a rarely seen option on Boxsters!
And for the record, if it's an E-gas car it's got a TPS.

I mean it stalls out. It idles just fine but when the RPMs come down from being around 5k+ it'll dip below the normal idle speed and sometimes stall.

Yep, it's a black top. The guy just bought it new and it has the glass in there too!

I love the seats too but they are very worn Debating getting the leather redone because the driver seat is torn in a couple spots.

I am 50/50 on keeping it or fixing it up for a profit. I got it for only $6k so I'm fairly sure I can touch up a lot of the cosmetic stuff and make a little out of it. Not sure if I can justify spending $2k getting the seats reupholstered though..

The size of the tears in the seat are beyond repairing them myself. Definitely bookmarking this though, thanks

Here's a video of exactly what's going on.

My idle will dip low and sometimes stall out completely after you rev it and let it drop. Also if you turn the AC on or anything that uses a lot of power the idle will drop with it. You can also see the lights dim when the idle drops.

As for the lights dimming I have noticed this on both my boxsters with window operation among other electrical uses, current car has a virtually brand new battery and starts up almost immediately but the lights still dim as windows are raised or lowered. My assumption is that it is normal but I still find it odd.
