RPM of car increases really fast, barely pressing the gas pedal?
I drive a 2008 Honda civic ex and I noticed that when I press the gas pedal lightly the tachometer increases really fast like up to 2000-3000 rpm and the car is not even going 50 mph. Is it normal for the rpm of the car to go really high when I barely press the gas pedal? My car has about 60,000 miles on it if it helps and I have had no issues with it since I bought it.
2-3000 rpm off slightly pushing in the pedal? Now 2-3000 is normal cruising usually but if its from a stop and barely pushed in i have no idea.
It is normal for these cars yes, I'm assuming yours is the automatic. I have had that exact car in a manual trans and an 09 EX in automatic. Nothing to worry about. Press the button on the side of the gear selector to limit your car from overdrive and drive it and see if it does it still I'm thinking your car is in 5th (OD) and when your press the pedal it shifts to 4th for the power then when you don't do anything with the power it shifts back up to 5th. Drive in 4th and see if it still does it. If so then you can get it checked out at honda but I seriously doubt it's anything.
- What is causing my 2002 honda civic ex (Automatic) to barely move in drive and reverse? My daughter uses this car and was working great one day and then the trans just about quit working. Had to tow it. When in neutral I can hear a high pitch whining sound from trans. Is there any way to fix this. The engine light is also on.
- How does my car start with out pressing in the clutch? I just bought a 97 Honda Civic hx. The dude told me that he took a pin out of the clutch pedal or something like that, not sure if it's legit but it will start with out the clutch in neutral. How?
- Honda Civic Manual single clunk when pressing on gas and letting go? I think I have an issue, I have a manual Honda Civic 2010. I noticed that when I'm already in gear, like already switched to second for example and I'm cruising just say from 22mph and then naturally slows down to 19mph so I press the gas a little to go back to 22 I hear a single like clunk noise and as soon as I let go of the gas I hear another clunk. It's mostly just on gears one and two that happens. Any idea what's wrong? Haha
- Honda civic del sol rpm meter jumping at around 4k rpm? My 94 del sol when driven on the highway. After i hit a little over 4 rpm… The needle starts jumping from 4 to maybe 6 but no engine change or high rev. Just the rpm meter and my temperature guage hit cold and kinda bounce up and down at the bottom line. I recently changed my whole distributor for a used one if that help. Any answers would be appreciated.
