Why are my RPMs staying high?

Why are my RPMs staying high?

If your car has high RPM while idling, it can be attributed to a problem with the idle control valve. This valve helps the car to maintain a specific RPM while idling. This idle control valve also has a fuse which if blown, will stop the valve from working altogether.

Why is my rpm at 500?

Most of the time this is caused by either a vacuum leak or a dirty throttle body. I would then check the throttle body and clean it if needed. This is probably the most common problem.

What would cause RPM to jump while driving?

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. The IAC is in charge of controlling the idle speed of your engine, and it could be the reason why your tachometer is out of control right now.

What can you put in a transmission to keep it from slipping?
