last couple of weeks i've been noticing my car revving itself when in neutral and stopped at a red light. slowly revs up to 2K and then drops, slowly. nothing else unusual, oil temps in normal operating range. any suggestions?

i know what you're thinking, but not the case. i can be at a complete stop in neutral when it slowly starts to rev to 2K. also happens with s-mode off. |

It's very likely a vaccuum leak (like the IAC valve)... it will drive just about normal except the idle which is because it is letting in more air than the throttle is requesting which causes the same symptom as putting your foot on the accelerator.

It can be a sticky (or dirty contacts) on the electronic pedal. You can drive around with a ODB-II scanner connected and log the pedal position and throttle position data to see if that is the case.

Sorry to bump an old thread. Does anyone have any updates on this problem? The problem occurs not only in neutral but the car will cruise in any gear at around 1600 rpm without me depressing the gas... Sometimes when in neutral ill tap the accelerator and the rpm will drop to normal. Really strange
also: this doesnt happen all the time. Only random days |
