What does it mean if your accelerating and the car revs then accelerate?

Well, that all depends on which type of transmission you have in your car. If you a manual transmission and your car revs abnormally high when youre accelerating or driving uphill it is most likely a worn out clutch that is slipping, or a broken or worn out engine mount.
If you drive an automatic transmission it could be quite a few things. Have you noticed any sputtering or shaking while idiling? if so it could be your oxygen sensor. Any check engine lights on? Go to auto zone and get them checked for free, could be a simple, and free fix! as with the manual tranny could also be a broken engine mount. anything else idk, most shops diagnose probelms for free anyways

Does a car accelerate as it moves?
Yes, during any period of increasing or decreasing speed it is accelerating.
Why does your car make a grinding noise when you accelerate?
That's just the rev of the car. This means you are accelerating too fast. Go nice and steady.
When you accelerate hard your car just splutters but fine after 2000 revs why?
If your vehical is a tracker and you just put the timing chains in, it was done wrong
Why does my car make a loud tractor type noise when accelerating and when I start my car it is also slow to accelerate?
Sounds like your ignition timing is off.
Is a car turning a corner balanced force?
No. The car is accelerating using an unbalanced force. Balanced force does not accelerate.
What is wrong when you press on the gas to accelerate the engine revs up but the speed does not increase?
you probly stilll got the car in park or the gauge is acting up or probly its the transmission
Is the force needed to accelerate a car greater than the force needed to accelerate a bicycle to the same velocity?
Force is directly proportional to mass. Therefore, even both the car and bicycle are being accelerated to the same velocity, accelerating a car would require more force since it has a greater mass.
What acceleration of a car accelerate even thought your speed don't change?
If the car is moving at a constant speed but is changing direction, it is accelerating. Acceleration is change in velocity, and velocity includes magnitude (speed) and direction.
Jesse notices that gas mileage jumps from 20 to 40 miles per gallon when he uses his cruise control one likely explanation for this is?
jesses car is a hybrid that shuts off extra pistons when it’s not accelerating- apex
Would shifting from first second to third on an automatic damage the car while accelerating?
A car with an automatic transmission shifts itself from 1st to 2nd to 3rd when you accelerate. You don't need to shift it...that's why they call it automatic.
Car accelerates when parked?
The word "accelerate" means to travel faster, pick up speed ... how on earth can a car be parked and moving at the same time. Possibly meant, engine revs to higher RPM when stopped, which could be: Throttle Positioner problem
Your car has high revs even after you have taken your foot off the accelerator what does this mean?
throttle plate stuck? I'm not sure. When I'm driving, I take my foot off the gas and the car jerks and when I have to stop and I push on the brakes the car revs and jerks forward and occasionally stalls
