What causes a car not to rev up?
There are several problems which could cause this behavior, such as a bad throttle position sensor, fuel supply issues (low fuel pressure), or a dirty or bad mass air flow sensor. Problem codes will narrow the cause more quickly, and help avoid replacing parts that are not the problem.
Why wont my RPMs go up?
Why a car won’t accelerate but RPMs go up The first thing to do is to check for bad spark plugs. If your plug is damaged it might cause your RPMs to run high.

Why does my car not go over 2000 rpm?
If your vehicle won’t go over 2K RPM (assuming it did prior to the issue), then your motor is most likely in limp mode. Limp mode is a feature of modern cars which severely reduces performance in order to do two things: 1) Allow you to drive the car to a safe location. 2) Protect further damage to the motor.
Why does my car RPM go up and down when I drive?
1. Bad Idle Air Control Valve. Oftentimes, when your RPM fluctuates while accelerating, it’s going to be because of an issue with the idle air control valve, or IAC, in your car. It’ll be the only way to get your RPM to stop fluctuating as you drive your car.
Why is my automatic car over revving?
Transmission slipping, or gears slipping, is a common transmission problem and a real cause for concern.
