When I start my car the RPM is high?
Common causes of high RPM excursion at start-up are typically: large vacuum leak, throttle plate stuck open, cruise control stepper motor stuck in one position; faulty throttle position sensor, and/or faulty idle air control motor or solenoid.
What should the engine RPM be before starting the car?
Your engine should normally get to around 700 RPM after you start the vehicle. If it is a few hundred RPM under or over that amount and you experience one or more of the problems listed above, then you will want to diagnose the issue right away.
What can cause the RPMs to go super high while driving at?
Today I was driving on the Interstate going 65mph and suddenly I felt a jerk in the truck and that’s when my RPMs went all the way to 5.5 and so I let go of the gas and it went back down but as soon as slightly press on the gas the RPMs went back up .
What makes a car turn 2500 rpm or 3000 rpm?
Most of the wear damage is already done by whoever failed to change the oil regularly enough in those 10 years, or ran low on oil, or used the wrong oil viscosity, etc. Whether it turns 2500 RPM or 3000 RPM on the highway is largely irrelevant.
Is there an optimal rpm range for all speeds?
That means, to avoid lugging when shifted into 2nd, I need to rev 1st up to almost 3000 RPM, which results in a less-than-pleasant engine noise. Is there an optimal RPM range for all speeds, which improves the engine longevity or is it speed specific?
Why does the RPM go up when we start car engine?
Although it is considered as a normal phenomenon for a cold engine to start with high RPM, it will drop immediately after warming up, especially when the engine is trying to heat itself up. This is an automatic choke, stepping up the RPM to keep your engine from stalling. It restricts the airflow, which increases the fuel/air mixture.

How to monitor RPMs to get the best performance?
When you need to slow down in a vehicle with a manual transmission, you can monitor the RPMs to determine when to smoothly downshift to a lower gear. Press the clutch in and rev the engine to the engine speed at which you would normally shift to a lower gear. Shift to the next lowest gear, then slowly let the clutch out to engage the gear.
When does the engine have the least resonant rpm?
Engine life: Every engine has a least resonant rpm. This is when your engine vibrates the least (Think of this as the opposite of that point when your entire car begins to shake violently due to excess load). Since the vibration is minimum at this rpm, the wear and tear in the engine is minimized and so is the friction between engine components.
