When do car RPMs go up or down?
The RPMs did not go above 3000. The RPMs also got a shaky and moved back a forth a bit. On the highway the car slowly got up to 45 MPH and 3500 RPM, then it was stuck there for about 15 seconds – it would not go any faster and RPMs would not go higher. After those 15 seconds it finally went above 3500 and got up to 60.
When to slow down for a moving truck?
Always slow down while driving around sharp curves or making turns, if the sign does not have a truck on the sign, this usually means that the posted speed is for a car, you need to slow down even more than the posted limit. If you have ever driven an SUV you know that it is top-heavy, the same thing is true for a box truck.
What causes your car to cut out while driving?
My car will cut out while driving (acceleration cuts out)… I can drive about 10 miles and then accelerate starts kicking and loss of power/driving begins. Have to pull over, rpms will shake down to 0 and engine cuts out. Just had tuneup done (distributor cap, spark plugs, wires replaced).
What happens when I shift from Park to drive?
Every time I shift my truck from park or reverse into drive the engine rpms severely drop and sometimes stalls. It idles in park at ~750-800rpms and drops to ~400rpms in drive before it bounces back to ~700rpm. However if I start my car in neutral and shift into drive everything is fine.
