Noticed this a few days ago.


Is this normal? Foot isn't on the gas at all and it does this.

I have a 16 Cat bought new, automatic.
I see that your tire press is low, also if this is happening while you are turning the wheel, might be due to the PS pump strain as these are hydraulic not electric PS.

One of my TPMS on the passanger side is out. i have it on order to be replace. it happens when im 1st gear and slowing down a bit. i just think its odd how it revs itself like that.

What does the idle RPM do if you just sit still and don't turn the steering wheel? The power steering pump does load the motor.
It seems to idle like normal when sitting still no with no input.

When I had my '16 in track trans mode it would pull through my neighborhood at 27 mph without my foot on the gas. No revving at idle though.

My '16 idles steadily at about 750 rpm, but it's a manual.

The video is too jerky and I can't see what the problem is. So you're sitting still or going 9-10 MPH? My 2015 starts up, idles fast for 30? seconds, then settles back down until I start it the next day.

Yeah it isn't the best video. I am going 9-10 in first gear and the car is revving by itself is what my concern is. I have a jeep that when in sport hold after braking a1 higher RPM, however with my HC it seems to rev it and not hold the RPM. I had it in these settings:

Power : 700+
Transmission: Sport
Paddle Shifters: Off
Traction: Sport
Suspension: Sport

My question is that revving normal

Please pop the hood and snap a picture.

Other thoughts that come to mind are Fuel Rail recall and a PCM flash. It would be good to get it to the dealer for a multi-point inspection.
Yeah that is my plan for next week. This car is my daily so i have to find time to squeeze it in.
