Re: RPM goes extremely high when in Neutral?
| Zaks | 29 Aug 2005 21:21 |
Well, RPM goes like 5000 in only 4/5 seconds. I never let it go higher.
I didn't purge the air intake. Do you think that may solve the problem?

How high is the RPM revving?
Did you purge the coolant system of air?
I find it takes at least a half hour of the car sitting at idle before the
fan comes on twice, during the purge process.
If air is in the cooling system, then certain engine control components are
not necessarily being cooled adequately, and erratic revving will occur.
Very common problem which is easily fixed.

Sorry that I didn't make that clear. Mine is 89 Honda Civic (Wagovan).
Recently it's been doing that (High RPM when engine is hot). I thought
radiator flush was the problem as I never done that in the past. Flushed
last week and didn't solve the problem.
Also my car is 5-speed manual (1.5 liter and currently about 150000 miles
on it).
Could you please help.

This is not a 'psychic automotive diagnostic service'. Look in the
Yellow Pages for that.
All we know is that it has a key, and that it overheats. It could be a
Honda motorcycle. . . . . Help us out a bit.

When running, no problem. When in neutral (class released), RPM goes
tremendously high. I usually have to turn off the ignition and turn back
on to move on about a feet in STOP signs.
It only happens in Summer and when the engine is already hot (Engine
Temperature is normal though).
Please tell me what shall I fix.
