Engine revs

Recommended Posts

Hi, I came back from the store and was backing into my driveway. I put it into park and then the engine revved up. I looked at the tach and it was below 1000rpm. I thought maybe my foot hit the gas pedal so I left it. My daughter was on her way out tonight for work and the same thing happened to her. She started it and the engine revved and she also noticed the rpm was below 1000. She took my car to work. I just came back from a test drive and it ran normal. There is a recall on my Journey. I can't remember the code but I think it has something to do with the ignition module. My Journey is a 2010 3.5L. Anyone have this happen to them? Thanks.

OK, help me out here. You looked at the tach and it was below 1000. If the vehicle is in park, it should be below 1000. "the engine revved, but the tach was below 1000", are you saying the tach was not showing the RPM's correctly? As in, the engine was revving but the tack showed below 1000?

Since I'm not sure what the idle rpm is I said below 1000 rpm. I did say I put it in Park. So yes idle. The engine revved up without me touching the gas pedal and the tach stayed at the idle rpm. I know the engine revs when you start the vehicle then drops down to idle speed.
