Why does my cars RPM drop when I stop?
This may be a sign of a failing idle air control valve. In cases where this valve is clogged or is failing, your vehicle will stall instead of slowing to an idle after the release of the throttle. I recommend having a professional replace your idle air control valve.
When do I stop at red light RPM drops?
But when i stop at light rpm drop to 500. And feels like its going to shit off. My car has 80455 miles. My car has an automatic transmission. This may be a sign of a failing idle air control valve.
What happens when engine RPM drops below 800?
However, when the engine RPM drops below the normal range of 800 RPM (for most cars), it is more than likely that you are dealing with an IAC valve problem. In cases where this valve is clogged or is failing, your vehicle will stall instead of slowing to an idle after the release of the throttle.
Why does my RPM drop when sitting idle at traffic lights?
While I’m sitting idle at traffic lights I put the car into neutral. The engine stays idling at about 1000 RPM. However every now and then it drops down to about 500 RPM and then quickly back up to about 1200 then goes slowly down to 1000 and stays there for a bit until I go again or it drops again.
What does the Red Line mean on the RPM gauge?
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. Exceeding an engine’s red line can result in significant engine damage especially over extended periods of time.

What happens when you stop at a red light?
I just had the same problem with my 2014 Equinox (72K miles); the engine would shut off when I stopped in traffic or at a light. The check engine light did not cut on; it just died on the DC 14st bridge. It did restart immediately, but I had non-stop stalls at all stops on the way home.
Why does my RPM shoot up?
When your car is started, the pistons inside the engine begin moving up and down forcing the crankshaft to turn. Vehicles operating with higher RPMs often demand more fuel and force the engine to work harder. If your engine is idling higher, due to an internal issue, your vehicle’s RPM may run higher.
Can I drive at 4000 RPM?
Excessive High RPM While extremely low rpm and high loads will damage your transmission right away, sustained high rpm may damage it over the long run. High rpm means more wear on the bearings and oil seals, and quicker transmission fluid breakdown.
When does the RPM go back to normal?
The RPM will usually go back to normal as you accelerate the vehicle, but will increase again after you stop. This is definitely not a normal situation. If you are experiencing a rough idle or your RPM is running high, then there are a variety of reasons for why this could be happening.
What does it mean when your rpm jumps on deceleration?
At slow speeds, less than 25 mph, I can actually feel the car accelerate, which is a weird feeling when the car speeds up without the gas being pressed down. The increase in RPM used to be really bad, the jump would be very noticeable. I took it to a mechanic, they put their finger over the pcv valve, and told me to go buy one from the dealer.
