After tune up my car idles, revs, and shifts at higher RPM. On freeway at 65 on cruise used to be 1800-2000. Now at 2500 - 3000. Shifting from 3rd to 4th to 5th spikes at 3500 - 4000. Loosing appx 3 mpg on gas mileage. Changed O2 sensors, didn't help. What would be the top things to check to get the RPM back down?

Hey Ftloos,

It sounds like you have a vaccum leak, can you check round the intake manifold air intake tube and the mass air flow connection, please let me know what you find.

Best, Ken
