His Car Revs Up & Down By Itself by Okanyidudu: 8:40am On Jun 16, 2015
Hello Gurus in the house,

I need help with my car. The engine revs up and down all by itself. The effect is exactly like someone gently pressing down on the gas pedal and then letting up, over and over. This effect is most notable when the car is parked, but also occurs when stopped for red lights, or even during low-speed driving (under 35 mph or so).

The car in question is a Nissan X-Trail 2008 model.

@moderator, pls unban morningsta. not sure what offense was committed seriously.

This issue is usually associated with your engine air intake system. there could be a leak which lets in un-metered air or or a faulty Idle Air Control valve (IAC). Which ever way, you need to have the vehicle scanned to narrow down the culprit.

Trust Gazzuzz for a scan and subsequent repair if you are in Lagos.

Take it to a pastor asap.

My Car does this at times too, but I have learnt to ignore it. It thinks it can scare me.
