Why is my car revving when I put it in park?

Why is my car revving when I put it 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 it bad to rev engine after starting?

Revving the engine won’t speed up the process. In fact, that could cause easily avoided damage. Cold revving causes abrupt temperature changes that create stress between the engine’s tight-fitting components.

Why does my truck idle but no acceleration?

After changing a belt on my truck ( 92 Explorer )…SAME THING…idle , no acceleration. Here’s why; My air flow sensor is it the intake duct before the air filter. Having forgotten to fully re-assemble that tube afterwards, the computer had no clue that there was a demand ( accel pedal ) for more and wound not allow more fuel nor increased rpm.

Can you Rev a car by flipping the throttle plate?

Can you rev it by flipping the throttle plate by hand under the hood? If so, just check the throttle cable & its linkage. Check at the pedal and at the throttle body. If you’re thinking something like “what the heck is the throttle body?” then this might have been a bad idea. But everyone starts somewhere.
