What should I do if my engine revs high?

What should I do if my engine revs high?

First, check the condition of all your vacuum hoses under the hood. Replace any that are questionable, one at a time to keep from mixing them up. There should be a vacuum line routing guide under the hood if any are broken or separated. BustedKnuckles is exactly right.

Why is my Subaru Outback revving so high?

My 2003 subaru outback wagon, manual transmission, starting revving about 1500-2000 rpms higher than normal today. When I put the car in neutral, the car revs high sometimes increasing in rpms. Also when i left off the gas the car doesnt decrease in speed or rpms almost like the gas pedal is sticking.

Why does my car rev up when idling?

If your car seems to be revved up to a higher-than-normal RPM while idling, it’s not necessarily a problem. If this problem happens while the engine is cold, it may be part of the engine’s design.

Why is the RPM on my Harley Davidson so high?

(Could be you went through 50 key cycles with no engine issues) When you get off the interstate & the idle is high,,, if you were to power it off and restart the bike, does the idle calm down or does it resume the high idle. Would help to know how high the RPM was, but you have no tach. (?)
