Why does my Kia Stonic's engine keep revving while idling?

I've noticed that my Kia Stonic's engine keeps revving while at a complete stop, even in neutral gear. It's causing excess noise and I'm worried it may be damaging my engine. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

Hi Samantha, this issue could be caused by a few different things. It could be a faulty idle control valve, a vacuum leak, or even a malfunctioning throttle position sensor. I recommend bringing your Kia Stonic to a certified mechanic to diagnose and fix the issue. It's best not to ignore this issue as it can lead to increased fuel consumption and potential damage to your engine.

Hey Samantha, I had a similar issue with my Kia Stonic and it turned out to be a dirty air filter. The lack of air flow was causing the engine to rev higher to compensate. Try replacing your air filter and see if that helps. If not, then definitely bring it to a mechanic for a proper diagnosis.

Hi Samantha, I had this same issue with my Kia Stonic and it turned out to be a leak in the air intake hose. I had it replaced and the revving stopped. It's definitely worth getting it checked out by a mechanic in case it's something more serious.
