High Rpm for Ford Eacort 1997?

We just noticed yesterday that my husband's rpm is higher than my car. It doesn't seem to drive any differently and there's no burning smell so I'm wondering what it could be. At 70 mph it's between 3.5-4 Rpm. I'm praying it's not the transmission but everything I'm reading says it may be.
190,324 miles

First are the exact same cars? When in OD the cars RPM ( assuming its a 4 speed OD automatic trans ) is usually around 2200 rpm Thats not a exact number But it close to where the RPM usually hover at a steady 65 70 MPH Are you sure the car was in OD Cause at 3500 it sounds as if it is in 3rd gear So make sure its not and in 4th on the highway. Now if it is in 4th gear at 70 should still be under 3k RPM if its revving really high and your not speeding excessively Then The trans most likely is slipping and once that happens There's no cure in a bottle It needs to be rebuilt or replaced You can try checking trans fluid and making sure its at the right level; But at 190K miles Consider yourself blessed it lasted that long Most don't get past 100k You also can have the trans checked out by a trans shop too Which is your best bet to find out the real condition of the trans

  • What would cause my 2004 Ford E350 5.4L 8cyl to have 2,000 rpm at idle and in neutral? The van has 113,000 miles. Plugs changed at 100,000 miles. When started the rpms are at 2,000. Occasionally they will drop 100-200 rpm for 1-2 seconds then right back to 2,000 rpm. While driving there's no problem as long as the van is in drive. Once in a great while after driving around for a while it will be normal rpm when I put it in park. But usually works its way back to 2,000 rpm. Should I try to clean the throttle body or change the tps sensor? Any help will be much appreciated.
  • What RPM should my car idle while driving and what RPM should I shift? I have a 2003 Ford Mustang V6. 5 speed manual transmission. This is not the first manual car I've owned, but I'm curious. I never really look but I've read in some places that in order to save gas you should shift at 2 RPM before I used to shift at around 3-3.5 RPM. Also what's a good RPM my car should idle at while I'm in gear? Let's say I'm driving in 3rd gear. What's the ideal RPM to stay at before needing to shift.

  • Higher RPM and transmission issue - ford car? Hi i have this higher rpm at start in my 10year old ford card… Where my rpm raises to 3000 at the time of start. i now have a transmission problem and that requires rebuilt. is ther a relation between this higher rppm at start issue and eventually failure in transmission,. could the higher rpm issue might have caused the transmission failure.
