Is it bad to accelerate in park?

THIS ISN’T GENERALLY A GOOD IDEA. Revving in general is unnecessary wear on your engine when you are sitting still, and when in motion it is even more likely to damage your car (because you might do it wrong and shift your car back into gear before allowing the rpms to lower or something like that).

Why does my car not Rev past 3000 rpm?

It will NOT limit an engine to 3000 rpm and it will NOT cause the computer to become confused for any reason. A clogged catalytic converter or clogged exhaust, usually from being bent will limit the engines rpm because it can’t “exhale”.

Exhausts get bent on a daily basis by people backing into curbs and a 10 year old catalytic converter is right at the common fail age.

Can a car go over 3, 000 RPMs?

Mine WILL rev over 3,000 RPM’s – it just starts coughing at 85 mph and shuts down at about 90 mph. I found that out the first time I got mad at an old woman doing 25 mph on the highway and passed her. 6,000 RPM’s when it downshifted, in nothing flat! Probably a good thing it shuts down at 90 mph, too, since it gets a bit squirrelly at that speed!

Why does my car not Rev above 2500rpm?

Well, as unbelievable as it may seem, after having the car (’82 GT with a 4bbl Holley) for almost a month, I just revved the engine above 2500RPM today.

What does it mean when your car wont Rev?

As it reaches about 2800-3000 RPM it starts to stumble and fluctuate and wont rev any higher.

I assume its either an ignition or fuel problem but not the exact source.
