rpms not starting at 0

Hemipower95 · Apr 4, 2016

So when i start my truck it goes straight to 1 in the rpms. After awhile it drops when im not driving but not to 0 only halfway.even when i drive and i stop at red light, it doesnt go to 0.only half way. Is this a reason for concern or is it normal?its a 2015.also still cant get over how bad my mpgs are, if that's normal, then ill just accept it and move on.

wut... I cant tell if you're serious.

If the truck had 0 rpms it would be off. Just like any other vehicle

it idles at about 500-750 when warmed up and when it starts its around 1k to warm up......

if it were at 0 rpm the engine would be turned off. it'll always idle between 500-1200 rpm depending on temperature. also it's a truck you're never gonna get great fuel economy, especially in the city

Hemi power, you've had some dumb topics, but this one takes the number 1 spot. Really?? Yes at idle the truck is running so will not be at 0 rpm. Your truck does not have start/stop technology.

Oops. Consider this thread closed. Cars are not my forte obviously.

It's all good buddy, but Google can be your friend. Rpms stands for revolutions per minute. That's how fast the engine spins per minute. So at 600 rpms it spinning 600 turns per minute. Aka it's running.

wonder how long before it does. don't really know much about how they work but i'd think it's gotta be pretty hard on the starter and battery

And sorry if I sounded rude. Not intentional but had some drinks watching the basketball game tonight so a little more blunt than normal.

I'm expecting the next thread to be "Engine makes noise while running. Does yours do that?" lol

AustinB · Apr 5, 2016

Would be a great prius thread.

My neighbor has it on his 2015 F-150, it's the worst thing ever.

Wow , you just can't make this stuff up. When I started reading from post # 1 I thought it was a joke

RAM already has done the Start/Stop with the "HFE" model that is about as rare as an honest politician to find.

Stop/start systems just seem unsafe to me.
