ErosSalvatore Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Last weekend The rpm's on my 1990 subaru legacy awd jumped as much as 2000 (from 2500-3000 to 4500)for a couple of seconds before returning to normal when I was going at speeds of 65-70mph or more on the freeway..... I drove about 55 home to keep this from happening....haven't been on the freeway since....any guesses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardwielder Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 sounds like it downshifted on its own if you have a automatic trans. if not, idk what to tell you... but if u do have an auto check the tranny fluid. improper fluid level will make any auto trans shift wrong/funny/odd/break/blow-up.

garylau Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I had a similar problem. Is your cruise control switched on? My cruise doesn't work, but on two occasions it got switched on somehow, and when I was coming to a stop the car suddenly started revving really high by itself. Not sure of the exact cause, only that in my case it's related to the cruise control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy Wagon Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Poor Toyota...such a good run with cars like the 2000GT (one of my favorite cars of all time), the RWD Corolla's and Celica's of the mid 80's, the Supra and the Celica GT4, not to mention the Japanese specific Soarer and Altezza. Also that sweet freakin Toyovan! What a shame I doubt they'll survive this stuff *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErosSalvatore Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 YEs, the cruise control was on when it happened.....maybe it's a toyota prius virus that's infecting other cars now.....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
