Question:
Engine Races When Foot Off Gas Pedal
Why does my car engine race when my foot is not on the gas pedal?
-- Mavrick Henry, Kingston, MI
Answer:
Idle speed is what most likely needs to be adjusted. In newer vehicles this may be difficult to adjust and may require a visit to your dealer or local mechanic.
