Is it bad to rev a car when turned on?
When you rev your engine, you place additional and unnecessary stress on your car and its engine. This is imperative when it’s cold outside—revving your engine before it has had time to warm up is especially damaging, as the engine’s oil hasn’t had sufficient time to circulate and properly lubricate your car.
What is the normal rev count?
Simply, RPM stands for revolutions per minute (or revs per minute) and this significant gauge tells the driver how fast the engine is spinning. A typical engine rev-range is from an idle of between 500 and 1000rpm, and a maximum speed of about 6000 to 7000rpm.
What should rev counter read when idle?
The idle speed should feel consistent without skipping or slipping. 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).

But, to answer your question… No, a clogged fuel filter would not explain an engine that is revving at high RPMs without the car moving at an appropriate speed.

What does the Red Line on the tachometer mean?
Tachometers or RPM gauges indicate the RPM as a multiple of 1,000. For example, if the tachometer needle points to 3, it shows that the engine is turning at 3,000 RPM. The highest RPM range at which you start to run the risk of seriously damaging your car’s engine , referred to as the red line, is marked in red color on the RPM gauge.
