Why would the RPM on a 1995 KIA Sportage go up when in park?

when you're in gear, the engine tries to move the wheels and the brakes hold it still. this suppression from the brakes, combined with frictional losses through the drivetrain, lower the engine RPM's. When in park, the car's wheels aren't being driven therefore you don't need to press the brakes. tjhis lessens the load on the engine dramatically and therefore, engine RPM's rise


Does a manual transmission on a Saturn sl1 have to have fluid in it to engage starter?

Your manual transmission does not have to have fluid in it in order to start the engine. Theoretically you can start the engine with the transmission out of the vehicle totally. That being said.... Its not a good idea to start the engine if there is no fluid in the transmission just in case someone tries to move the vehicle by putting it in gear. You do not want to drive the vehicle with no fluid in the trans.
