The car wont go about 20 miles and hour but the RPMs rev upHELPME

About a month ago I left work did not make it out of the parking spot and my car spitter and sputtered and just died on me I started it only with a little bit of trouble. for about two months my automatic mercedes 1993 190E will rev up when you press the peddle it will move but not very fast and it sounds like it needs to go up a gear but it wont. A minute will pass and it will kick into gear the reving noise will stop and the car will jump forward. This is when I think it kicks into a higher gear.

finally::::: when I left for work today I got a mile down the road and I was going about 50 when it started slowing down to 40 even though I was accelerating it did the reving thing and would not accelerate past 40 then dropped to 30 25 20 then under 8MPH but would rev sounded like a stick shift that was in 1st gear and needed to be shifted into 2nd. It spittered and sputtered a little I turned around and managed to make it back to my house. the closer I got to my house it got a little better but im afraid to drive anywhere so what do I do ? what is the problem? water in my fuel line? transmission going up? cracked distriputer cap? HELP im a girl and dont know to much about cars!!!!!!

What would cause my 05 GMC ENVOY TRANSMISSION TO NOT WANT TO CHANGE GEARS ALSO THE RPMS REV HIGH AND TRUCK WONT HO OVER 60 MILES PER HOUR WHAT CAN BEVTHE PROBLEM?

There could be several issues that could cause your GMC Envoy's transmission to not shift gears properly and the RPMs to rev high. Here are a few potential problems that you may want to consider:
  1. Low transmission fluid: If the transmission fluid is low, it could cause problems with the shifting mechanism. You'll want to check the transmission fluid level and add more if needed.
  2. Faulty shift solenoid: The shift solenoid is responsible for directing transmission fluid to the appropriate gear. If the solenoid is faulty, it could cause shifting problems.
  3. Worn transmission bands or gears: If the transmission bands or gears are worn, it could cause the transmission to not shift properly and the RPMs to rev high.
  4. Clogged transmission filter: A clogged transmission filter can restrict the flow of transmission fluid, causing shifting issues.
  5. Faulty transmission control module (TCM): The TCM is responsible for controlling the transmission. If it's not functioning properly, it could cause shifting problems.
I would recommend having a mechanic diagnose and fix the problem for you. It's important to address transmission issues promptly, as they can lead to further damage if left unchecked.

Why wont my 2014 dodge avenger rev past 3000 rpms it wont go any faster then 20 miles per hour

If your vehicle revs to 3000 rpms and it won't go more than 20 mph, it sounds like your transmission isn't shifting past 1st gear. I'd check transmission fluid level and if that's OK, take it in to get the tranny checked

Wont start

I had a similar problem a few months ago. Ready to get major engine work done, got fire, timing was right, getting gas.....
An experienced mechanic asked where the car had been parked and how long. I had parked it in grass, over a wet spot. The battery was dead too. He told me to park it over a warm spot for a few days and try a new battery. Did that, with the hood open, replaced the battery, and it fired right up. Something about being too damp and/or the voltage in the battery was too weak.. All I know is it worked, and I drive it every day and don't park in wet grassy spots.

1996 Toyota Camry idles high randomly?

Check and see if it has thrown any codes. Autozone will hook up their OBD for free. My thinking it is a sensor or a vacuum leak. Good luck.

2000 pontiac grand am 3.4 motor auto trans 4 door.Car starts and drives okay motor seems to stumble slightly between 3000-4000 rpms. with car stopped in park try to rev motor will only go between 3200-4000...

Hi Tom your vehicle is equipped with a Rev limiter it will not allow you to rev the engine above 4000 with the trans in park; as for the first problem you may have one of two things, one of the spark plugs or spark plug wires is bad or you have a flat spot on the throttle positioning sensor in which case have be replaced. Good luck?

I have a 2006 jetta gli turbo with about 82000 miles on it about four months ago the check engine light came on but nothing noticeable was going on with my car or the drive. recently when it started...

Hi

You need to go to a shop with a code reader. The check engine light was telling you something and you need a code reader. Depending on which country you are in, if in the states autozone may have it for free.

Whatever initiated the light is now messing up the other parts of the car.

Hope that helps.
