Why would a car idle too fast at times and the RPMs go up in all gears except 5th?

If the engine doesn't recover, the timing belt (if applicable) could have let go otherwise it could be a fuel delivery issue (dirty fuel filter, faulty fuel pump) or a restricted exhaust (damaged catalytic converter). If you have a check engine light illuminated, start with checking the codes.

Change the fuel filter, it may be plugged up.
Will spark plug gap causes a RPM gauge to go up and down while idling?
The spark plug gap can cause the RPMs to fluctuate, while idling. The more probable cause of the fluctuating RPMs is a bad camshaft.
I tried the idle adjustment screw - no change. What would cause my 1981 Datsun 4x4 pu to have 3000 rpms in 5th gear at 40 mph?
Sounds to me like the clutch is shot, assuming it is a standard shift.
Why would the Dash and Head Lights flicker on a 2002 Saturn L-300?
Check the alternator output, you may have a failed voltage regulator or bad brushes in the alternator resulting in an oscillating voltage value. This assumes that the flicker is relalted to engine rpms.
Why does your 1999 pathfinder jerk when you go over 2 RPMs?
2 rpms? Your automobile engine probably runs around 2000 rpms. At 2 rpms the engine would stall and stop. However, many automatic transmissions jerk a little bit as they shift gears. I suspect this is what is happening to your Pathfinder.
How many RPMs does ford explorer 02 runat at 70 mph?
It would depend on the gear ratio and transmission. stock tires 235/70r16: auto(O/D) with 3.55 gears =2160 rpms auto(O/D) with 3.73gears = 2270 rpms manual with 3.73s = 2360 rpms

1st-70002nd-65003rd-60004th-50005th-50006th-4500around their would be my guess but dont take my word for it
What will cause your 1999 Honda civic RPM go up and down when transmission shift gears?
When you are shifting gears, your RPMs will go down because your clutch is being pressed. If your RPMs don't go back up when you release your clutch, you should see a mechanic.
Why is it that when i put my truck in Drive and take off it wont drive it will take a bit for it to drive and when driven on hwy. The trucks RPM dont seem to work right?
What I think happened is that something with your gears went wrong so that is what is messing all of your rpms up. But, for the other problem I do not know a thing about why it would do that.

How would 355 rear gears affect performance on a 2007 Charger RT?
Much quicker off the line, but the trade off is lower top speed and higher RPMs at highway speeds.
What would cause engine whine in a Jeep Wrangler 4 liter 6 cylinder when you let off the gas pedalalready changed alternator idler pulley and throttle intake?
front or rear gears often make a whining sound if worn or low on fluid. If sound fades as SPEED fades then it is the gears if sound fades as the RPMs fade then it could be a number of different problems. front or rear gears often make a whining sound if worn or low on fluid.

What is causing your 1979 Datsun 280zx to backfire through the intake and the rpms to hang in-between gears?
burnt valve. do a compression test.
What would cause a transmission to rev high and not change gears?
A transmission that causes the RPMs to increase without changing gears could be in need of fluid. If that does not fix the problem, it may be the car needs a new transmission. For safety reasons, it is imperative the car is taken to a trained mechanic to be diagnosed properly.
What does S3 and S4 mean in the gears?
those are gears that are similar to a triptronic transmission. Allowing you to shift at different shift points for extra power when needed at 4000 rpms or higher. This feature is offered on the Integra 1.8L b18b motor . those are gears that are similar to a triptronic transmission.

Why does your dodge neon whistle at a low pitch then rise in pitch as the rpms rise then drop again when you change gears only to go through the whole thing again as rpms rise?
If it is the SRT model it is probably the turbo, if not it may be the transmission
Why do automobiles engines idle 6000 rpms?
If you have an engine that idles at 6000 rpms, you need to have it checked - immediately. Around 750 rpms would be normal.
