Why does my car idle high when in park?
The most common problem is a faulty fuse. In modern vehicles, engine idle speed is most often controlled by the idle air control (IAC) motor. When your car’s throttle is malfunctioning, this can cause your car to stall or idle high. Often this is a result of dirt buildup in the air intake.
Why does my car RPM go up and down when in park?
If the engine can’t keep idling, it will continue trying to get it revved up to compensate. The cause of the erratic engine you’re experiencing could be a vacuum leak, sensor failure, or an EGR system malfunction.
What should your car idle at in park?
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).
What causes the RPM to go high?
A slipping clutch will cause the engine to rev higher as the transmission struggles to work correctly. If your clutch is slipping, the clutch pedal will take much less pressure to engage. A slipping clutch will also cause your vehicle to lose power and struggle to stay up to speed.

My ’89 Toyota truck has this feature too.
Why is there a gap on my Toyota Highlander?
