When the RPM (revolutions per minute) moves while a vehicle is in park, it typically indicates that the engine is idling. This can happen due to slight fluctuations in engine performance, which may be caused by factors like fuel mixture adjustments, air intake variations, or a malfunctioning component. However, if the RPM fluctuates excessively or irregularly, it could signal potential issues such as a vacuum leak or problems with the idle air control valve. Regular monitoring can help identify whether it's a normal behavior or a sign of a deeper problem.

Is it normal for the rpm gage to be above 0 when in park?

Yes, it is normal for the RPM gauge to register above 0 when in park. This reading indicates that the engine is running and idling, which is typical when the vehicle is stationary. The RPM can vary based on factors such as engine temperature, idle speed settings, and whether any accessories are being used. However, if the RPM is excessively high while in park, it may indicate a potential issue that should be checked.


When car is in park should tachometer read zero?
