What causes a Ford Ka to over rev?
In reply to hford: the car over revs when idling/coasting/between gear changes, basically everytime the clutch is depressed after using the throttle. Could it simply be that the throttle cable has become slack and needs tightening ?- can this occur? or would the cable ever need lubricating?
Why does my Ford Ka stop revving after lifting the clutch?
I have, beleive it or not! that’s it. When she lifts the clutch back up, foot off the gas it revs on it’s own! It stops after a short while but it’s definitely not right. I can’t really describe it in more detail because that’s about it. Ford Ka, Over- Revving Any Ideas Why?? – Dynamic Dave Air leak in the inlet manifold?

Why is my Ford Fiesta over revving so much?
My Fiesta does that occasionally but not all the time. It was a lot better after I reset the ECU though and left it to idle for 10 minutes. If WD40 affects it,then possibly throttle cable or linkage. Hi, did the WD40 treatment sort out the problem for good or has it come back?
When do you let go of the brake, the engine revs?
Okay just tested it and the engine revs only when I hit the brakes and then again when I let go of them, not when I hold them down. still doing the rev thing.
Why do the brake lights not go off?
Also forgot to mention that the brake lights won’t go off after a swapped the hose too. What do you guys think it could be? okay found a live wire with a plug going to the battery that might be the cause for the brake lights staying on. If i disconnect it the brake lights go off completely and so do the headlights.
How does the brake light work on a car?
You start at a 15 amp fuse (15A STOP) that feeds the STOP brake light switch (brake switch). You go through the switch, to connector N5 terminals 4 & 5 (you can check your brake switch function here – 8-14 volts when the brake is applied).
How long does it take for idle RPM to drop?
Sitting at a stoplight, after about 20 seconds, the idle will drop to about 200rpm, causing the whole car to shudder. It’s just like it’s about to stall. Then in like 2 seconds it’s back to 750rpm or so. No CEL lights or DTCs are thrown. Oh well.. at least it doesn’t completely stall I guess.
