Is this Normal? Sign In

When I press the gas pedal lightly, my rpms go up? Also my car vibrates or rattles when i go over 60mph. A couple of days ago I did my transmission flush, changed the spark plugs, and changed the serpenity belt. What could be the problem?

Probably will need to explain a little better. Of course, the rpms will increase when you push on the pedal. The car will actually gain speed at the same time. The vibration/rattles, if only happening at higher speeds, could be as simple at tire/wheel balance. Now, if it vibrates without the vehicle moving, is possible that you have the plugs mis-gapped or the wires crossed. Try and be as specific as possible.

Hmmmm. Do you mean that the engine speed increases, but the car doesn't go faster? Transmission slipping?
