Why does your heater only blow hot air when you are pressing the gas and cold air whenyou are not?
Has to do with the rpms if it's idle not much power is giving out to the car from the fan belt to get very warm. Say next time you're in your car. Start the car give it a little gas where the rpm is almost at 2 rpms. Same goes for the a/c.
What does it mean when someone says a car is idle?
Idling is what your car is doing when it is just sitting somewhere running. As soon as you press on the gas it is no longer idling. Your idle speed is the number of RPMs your engine runs at when you are idling.
Why do car cylinders loose pressure?
because you run them to hard and it causes wear and tear. Specialy when you drive alot at high rpms it causes metal to metal.

could be a stuck butterfly on either the carb or throttle body depending on if your fuel injected or not. if not that, probably something very serious.
What causes a 1998 Malibu 's engine to rev at 2500 rpms when first started by the way it won't kick down unless you shut it off a start again then the rpms go back to 1000- car seems to start slowly?
Check the engine for proper cylinder compression. If the pressure is low then a blown head gasket could be leaking and causing the problem.

no
Why would your RPMs spike for 10secs on and off but the car seem not to shift down or up and the car not accelerate on a 2000 Grand Prix GT?
because the engine needs to have a 20 seconds RPMs
How do you activate v tech on prelude?

What do you do when your car's computer is not receiving the RPMs from your transmission?

The rpms need to be high enough to keep the engine running. Most engines need at least 850 rpms to keep from stalling.
What do flowmasters do for your car?
