Why do my RPMs drop when I hit the gas?
The idle air control valve is located on or near your intake manifold that monitors the air intake as it is mixed with fuel prior to being injected into the engine. When you accelerate, the engine RPM increases, and as you let off the gas, the RPM slowly returns to the normal idling speed.
Why do the revs drop when I come off the accelerator?
The main reason was because it’s started happening at higher speeds now (revs drop to idle when going 65mph but only within first 5 minutes of driving the car from cold) They said it’s working as designed in the lower speeds and it doesn’t drop back to idle at higher speeds so that the revs are available for overtaking.
When do you disengage the Turbo what happens to the Revs?
revs as well…..What you are describing as being ‘disengaged’ is the turbo and the gear change which usually occur at the same time. As soon as you go above 60km/hr leave the throttle you will feel the 4th gear kicking and the revs immediately drop into idle. I hate that aswell.
What’s the difference between high and low revs?
It is like I am forced to let go off accelerator as car is straining rpm’s do not freely rev up and down more so get stuck at high revs and low acceleration car will lose power going up hill sometimes only going twenty km’s up a hill with revs of 2500 to 3000 revs.
How to gain speed with high RPM’s low acceleration?
Only way to gain more speed is to let go off accelerator and then re push accelerator to gain more speed, but rpm’s go straight to 2500 and 3000 and slowly get up to speed sometimes revs goes over 3000 when only at forty km’s sometimes even 20 km’s.

How does the accelerator pedal work in a car?
Today’s modern cars, trucks, and SUVs are all equipped with an electronic throttle control system that contains an accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor. This sensor’s primary job is to monitor the position of the throttle pedal and send an electronic signal to open the throttle body as you depress the gas pedal.
What are the symptoms of a bad accelerator pedal?
Symptoms of a Bad or Failing Throttle/Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor. Common signs of a faulty pedal position sensor include inconsistent engine response, reduced fuel efficiency, and the Check Engine Light coming on. The days of having to constantly adjust the throttle cable due to a loose nut on the carburetor are long gone.
Is there an app for the accelerator pedal?
Today’s modern cars, trucks, and SUVs are all equipped with an electronic throttle control system that contains an accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor.
