i have a Nissan Sentra that is doing the same thing
i replaced the fuel filter and it helped the problem a little bit but it still semi shuts down when accelerating over 2000 rpm
try checking the fuel regulator
ive also heard of water in the TPS (throttle position switch). Remove with a blast of compressed air.
If the 1998 Olds Achieva will not rev over 2500 rpm there may be an issue with the idle control valve. A bad or unplugged valve will not let the car accelerate over 2500 RPM.
if the car is in park the almost any car wont go over 4000 rpm usaully like 3700 it is a safety issue
This doesn't make since
why after replaced the head gasket car wont turn over??jetta 2000 2.2l
clean rad & cond at the car wash see if that wont help
If you're talking engine rpm, cruising down the highway doing the 65 mph speed limit, an average rpm would probably be 2000 to 2200.

The RPM in the car measures the rotations per minute the engine's crankshaft turns, not the turning of the wheels. This means that if the car isn't moving, it's solely on the axles or wheels, no matter what make or model car it is.
Depending on the track it will range from 8500 to just over 9000 RPM.
From my experience you get the best gas mileage when you are in the highest gear and your rpm is low, around 1500 to 2000 rpm.
It depends on the make and model
I would like to know if it is a standard or an automatic.
