Why does the Lingyu's engine speed fluctuate between 3500 RPM when revving in neutral?

The vehicle's charging circuit has malfunctioned, the engine's throttle is faulty, the PCV valve or carbon canister solenoid valve used in the vehicle is defective, or there is excessive carbon buildup in the engine. These issues can all cause unstable engine speed when pressing the accelerator while driving. Point 1: The vehicle may experience stalling. Frequent starting during vehicle use has a significant impact on both the engine and the starter motor. Point 2: Stalling while driving greatly affects driving safety. Therefore, when the vehicle exhibits unstable engine speed, it is essential to promptly conduct repairs to avoid accidents.
I've encountered many similar issues. When the Volkswagen Passat Lingyu is revved in neutral, the RPM fluctuates around 3500, usually due to carbon buildup affecting throttle response. If the throttle body is too dirty or there's an air intake system leak, the air-fuel mixture ratio becomes imbalanced, causing fluctuations when the ECU controls the engine. Worn spark plugs or degraded ignition coil performance can also lead to this problem, especially with unstable electrical sparks during high-speed operation. Fuel system issues like clogged fuel injectors or incorrect calibration of the mass airflow sensor may cause unstable RPM. It's best to first check the air filter to see if it needs replacement or use a specialized cleaner on the throttle body. If DIY cleaning doesn't help, professional diagnosis at a shop is recommended to prevent minor issues from escalating. These components are more prone to problems as the car ages, so regular maintenance can significantly reduce trouble.
I've been driving this car for several years. When in neutral and revving the throttle to 3500 RPM, the engine speed fluctuates up and down. Common causes are usually a few key points: First, severe carbon buildup can clog the intake pipe or fuel injectors, disrupting airflow and causing the engine to vibrate irregularly. Second, worn spark plugs or ignition coils can lead to irregular ignition. Vacuum leaks are also critical, as they can make the air-fuel mixture too lean, resulting in unstable RPM control. I've dealt with similar issues myself. Start with simple self-checks, such as unplugging the mass airflow sensor and test driving—if the RPM stabilizes, it indicates a faulty sensor. If there's no improvement, it might be that the ECU needs a refresh. Safety-wise, prolonged driving under these conditions can cause the engine to overheat and damage components. Early inspection saves time and effort, avoiding major repairs later.
