If you don't shift it!!!
Do not go over 40mph or your engine will rev to high and be damaged
Sit in the car in neutral, rev the car to 2000 revs then apply the break firmly whilst still holding the car at 2000 revs. If the idle drops back down then the car is drive by wire... so ive been told anyway! :)
You may need to adjust the throtle or idle of the car. In older cars this is as simple as tightening a cable. So when the car is just idling it will naturally rev higher and not stall.
If the torque converter is slipping your engine will start to stall and cut out eventually you will be driving and the car will rev in the drive position as if it is in neutral go to a transmission shop and get the tech to test drive your car.
It is pronounced rev, like rev up a car
Over drive on any car is ther last gear for the transmission at hi-way speeds. The engine rev rate is lower, while the car goes faster. If you leave the stick in the D position, with the o/drive on, the trans. will do the work by itself.
Because it has a rev. limiter
What car is it? what year? is it a diesel or petrol? could be you r base idle?? but need know more info..... does it stall in drive with foot on brake? does it rev high?my car is a 07 Chevrolet Colorado,standar
If the vehicle is in neutral or park and it doesn't rev over half throttle, it is the rev limiter (governor). That is normal.
It is not good for your car if you rev your engine too much. Many people like to do this because they think it makes their car sound cool.
You will probably find that your engine management light is illuminated. The reason that the car will not rev higher than 2000 revs is because it is running in "limp mode" and this is controlled by the engine management system kicking in. If you find the engine management fault & reset the system then the car should run as normal.
