Clutch Engagement Affecting Idle

It didn't happen once the bus warmed up today, but during warm-up this morning I noticed that when I put my foot on the clutch pedal the idle would speed up slightly and when I took my foot off the pedal the idel would slow.

Brand new problem, not necessarily caused by the switch to FI this weekend, but wasn't doing it before the swap.

Anything to worry about?

I hope that's right. I've noticed this phenomena in Ludwig and filed it in the "please God don't let this mean anything" category.

When I had my rear wheels up on jack stands they would spin in neutral.

What you're describing jibes with this.
