Why is my car revving while in park?
The idle is controlled by the idle air control valve and if it cannot keep the engine idling it will keep trying to rev the engine up to compensate. A vacuum leak, sensor that has failed, or an EGR system malfunction could potentially be the cause of the erratic engine you’re experiencing.
Is Revving your engine in neutral bad?
Re: Is it bad to rev your car in neutral? ( Well you don’t want to be bouncing off the rev limiter a lot, but no, it’s not bad to just blip the throttle. There’s essentially no load on the engine, so there’s less wear on it like that than there is just driving or accellerating away from a light.
Why does my car keep idling high?
In modern vehicles, engine idle speed is most often controlled by the idle air control (IAC) motor. When your car’s throttle is malfunctioning, this can cause your car to stall or idle high. Often this is a result of dirt buildup in the air intake. Other times it can be a problem with a cracked intake tube.
What happens when you Rev the engine in neutral?
More common in continued over revving – the cylinder head & block doesn’t drain the oil at the same rate that oil is pumped out of the sump, leaving the sump empty, common in the Rover V8 engines. This is very common in engines that don’t have the minimum oil required.
Is there intake air regulation on a diesel?
There is no intake air regulation on a diesel, the intake is always unrestricted and output is determined by the amount of fuel injected. This is why when diesel’s rev they put out a lot of smoke until the engine catches up.
Can a car run at 3000 rpm in neutral?
i.e. running the engine at 3000 RPM in neutral would not produce as much boost as the engine running at 3000 RPM whilst pulling the car uphill in gear. Let me lead off with an excellent book on the topic: Corky Bell’s Maximum Boost.
Can a car go from Redline to Full Throttle in neutral?
So my question is, on a normal street car with a rev limiter and wet sump, can any excess wear occur from revving your engine to redline at full throttle in neutral that wouldn’t also happen if you took it to redline in 1st – 6th gear? It is indeed mostly a rumor, but with some background.
