Why does my car start at high rpm?

Common causes of high RPM excursion at start-up are typically: large vacuum leak, throttle plate stuck open, cruise control stepper motor stuck in one position; faulty throttle position sensor, and/or faulty idle air control motor or solenoid.

What RPM should a car start at?

What RPM should a car start at? Cars with up to a 2.0-liter engine should start with 500 to 800 RPMs. Cars with engines above 2.0-liter engines should start with 550 to 750 RPMs. Usually, for most engines it is perfectly fine to start with 600 to 1000 RPMs.

Why is my RPM not going up?

A dirty or clogged fuel filter is another reason for a car not accelerating like it’s supposed to when required to do so. With a dirty fuel filter, the engine won’t be getting enough fuel which means that the vehicle won’t be giving the acceleration performance that it should.
