Engine over reving

Featured Replies

Hi I've got a 2002 1.4 petrol fiesta that's reving at 3000 rpm while ticking over I had a eml said lambda sensors they've been changed and no light on now but still over reving any ideas tia 



If I had to guess, you have a vacuum leak, make sure there isn't any perished or disconnected vacuum hoses in the engine bay, and make sure there isn't a sucking sound from the brake booster.

Also make sure your throttle is actually fully returning to idle

Check the oil breather hose under the manifold.  They split fairly often and suck unmetered air into the manifold.

Thank you I'll check now 👍

Hi mate I had the same problem not long ago for me it was the crank air intake hose you could check that cost around £6 off eBay 

 

As has been touched on an unmetered air leak can easily cause this. Plug an OBD reader in and monitor the short- and long-term fuel trims. If these are persistently high-positive (say, >+10%) then that gives a strong indication that this is what the issue is because more fuel is needing to be added to compensate.
