What Causes the RPM to Not Drop After Releasing the Throttle?
1 Answers
After releasing the throttle, the RPM may not drop due to the throttle spring being in a compressed state for a long time, resulting in reduced tension. This causes the throttle opening to increase, leading to higher fuel supply and a slower return of the RPM needle. It could also be due to faulty components or air intake leaks. If this occurs right after maintenance, the slow drop in engine RPM is not considered a fault. Engine RPM: The level of engine RPM relates to the number of work cycles per unit time or the effective power output of the engine, meaning the engine's effective power varies with RPM. Vehicle RPM Range: Different vehicle models have different idle RPM values due to varying engines. Typically, the idle RPM ranges between 500 and 850 RPM. During a cold start, the idle RPM may briefly reach 1500 to 2000 RPM, but it stabilizes within the specified range once the engine coolant temperature returns to 90 degrees.
