95 2.8 Slight rev overrun upon release of throttle - Toyota Red

Hello,

When I release the throttle to change gear (or if stationary), the revs hold or even slightly rise (very slightly- maybe 100 rpm) before dropping. I've been told it could be a dodgy vacuum line- does this seem to be plausible? Any other possible reasons?

I may swap the inlet manifold for the less restrictive one from the 325i, and would the replacement of the hoses required to do this job likely fix the overun problem at the same time?

Thanks in advance,

TR
