What Causes the Car to Not Accelerate When Pressing the Gas Pedal While the RPM Goes Up?
1 Answers
The issue where the car does not accelerate when pressing the gas pedal while the RPM goes up is due to a transmission malfunction. Below are the detailed reasons: 1. Gear Issue: The transmission is stuck in a low gear, and the high speed is achieved by the engine running at high RPM. This situation is typically only applicable when the vehicle is climbing a steep slope under heavy load, as it allows for greater torque to provide sufficient traction. 2. Clutch Slippage: Clutch slippage can also cause this type of problem. The clutch is installed between the engine flywheel and the transmission input shaft. When the clutch pedal is fully released, the engine's power is transmitted to the transmission nearly 100% through the clutch. If the clutch slips, it will result in slow acceleration when pressing the gas pedal. 3. Instrument Failure: If the engine tachometer shows an inaccurately high RPM or the speedometer displays a speed lower than the actual speed, it can also create a false impression.
