this is going to blow your mind your car
0:02
might be revving by itself because of
0:04
something as Tiny as a butterfly all
0:07
right let's dive in reason number one a
0:11
sticky throttle imagine getting your
0:13
foot stuck on the gas pedal yep it's
0:16
kind of like that but for your car dirt
0:19
and grime can make the throttle plate
0:21
stick causing your engine to rev up
0:24
unexpectedly the throttle plate controls
0:26
the amount of air entering the engine
0:29
when it sticks it can cause an imbalance
0:31
in the air fuel mixture leading to
0:33
higher RPMs next up we have the idle air
0:37
control valve or IAC valve think of it
0:40
as your car's breathing regulator if
0:43
it's clogged or faulty your car might
0:46
start revving by itself like it's
0:48
hyperventilating the IAC valve manages
0:51
the engine's idle speed by controlling
0:54
the amount of air that bypasses the
0:56
throttle plate a malfunction can cause
0:58
erratic idling and unexpected revving
1:02
now let's talk about vacuum leaks
1:04
picture a tiny hole in a straw while
1:06
you're sipping your favorite drink
1:08
annoying right well a vacuum leak in
1:11
your car can mess with your engine's air
1:13
fuel mix leading to random revs vacuum
1:16
leaks can occur in various parts of the
1:18
engine such as hoses gaskets or the
1:22
intake manifold causing the engine to
1:25
draw in extra air and disrupt the
1:27
combustion process another C culprit
1:30
could be a malfunctioning mass airflow
1:32
sensor this little guy measures the air
1:35
coming into the engine if it's
1:37
misreading the airf flow your car might
1:39
rev up thinking it needs more power than
1:42
it actually does the mass air flow
1:44
sensor ensures the engine gets the right
1:46
amount of air for Optimal Performance a
1:49
faulty sensor can send incorrect data to
1:52
the engine control unit causing
1:54
unnecessary revving and finally a quirky
1:58
one a faulty EC U or engine control unit
2:02
this is the brain of your car's engine
2:05
if it misfires your car's engine could
2:07
rev like it's doing its morning
2:09
stretches the ECU controls various
2:11
engine functions including fuel
2:14
injection and ignition timing a
2:16
malfunctioning ECU can send incorrect
2:18
signals causing the engine to rev
2:21
unexpectedly so next time your car revs
2:24
up on its own don't freak out it's just
2:28
your car's way of saying it needs a
2:30
little TLC thanks for watching and don't
