What would cause RPM to fluctuate?
If your RPM fluctuates while accelerating, it could be because your spark plugs have gone bad on you. Worn-out spark plugs can cause misfires to occur within your engine, and those misfires can lead to your engine vibrating a whole lot. Those vibrations can lead to the RPM in your engine going haywire on you.
Is it normal for my RPM going up and down?
If the engine can’t keep idling, it will continue trying to get it revved up to compensate. The cause of the erratic engine you’re experiencing could be a vacuum leak, sensor failure, or an EGR system malfunction.
Why does my car idle at 1000 RPM?
The idle problem may be a result of a dirty or faulty idle air control valve. The idle air control valve monitors the air intake as it is mixed with fuel prior to being injected into the engine at low speeds and at idle.
Why does my car idle at 2000 RPM?
If the computerized engine control system is faulty, high idling can be one symptom. A vacuum leak in any of the hoses can be the culprit—inspect them all for leaks. A bad idle-speed control unit can cause the problem; it may need to be replaced. A faulty alternator can fast idle issues; if so, replace it.
What should my rpm be at idle?
In most of today’s cars, an idle speed of 600 to 1000 RPMs is average. If your car is idling rough, though, it won’t feel smooth. The RPMs will jump up and down, for example, or they’ll fall below 600 RPM (or whatever is typical for your vehicle).
Where should your rpms be in park?
For the majority of passenger cars, idle RPM’s should be somewhere between 600 and 1,000 RPM’s. Motorcycles usually see a range between 1,200 and 1,500 RPM’s for a single cylinder engine, and around 1,000 RPM’s for a two cylinder.
Why is my Subaru Forester going too fast?
I bet it’s emissions related, something about the revs dropping too quickly. There are no revs to drop. The engine is coasting down a long hill at steady rpm against a light throttle. That is, the throttle is less than what is needed to maintain the speed, and the engine is being pulled down the hill faster than the throttle.
What are the RPMs on a Subaru Forester?
It periodically has this problem where it will cut out power and feel like it is missing or something. This typically happens while driving about 65 – 70 mph, and the rpms around 2200 – 2500.
What kind of engine does a Subaru Forester have?

Why does my Subaru Forester make a jerky motion?
When not using the CC it is very sensitive to throttle imput from no throttle to very little throttle; it induces a jerky motion. This happens in any gear, at any speed, the more bumpy the road (thus more foot input to the throttle) the worse. At cruising speeds around sweeping corners in tight traffic this can be unnerving!
