When you are braking should it be at zero? What happens if you are at park and the 1000xr/min is up to 2?

that is the rpm gauge. engine revs per minute. it will be at idle speed when stopped and running (about 750-1000rpm)cheers!

that is your tachometer. it is just telling how many revolutions per minute you engine is running. it should idle in park at about 1. it may idle higher depending on how cold the engine is.

its your RPM gauge, its at 2000 RPM your idle speed should be around 1000ish RPM, and no it shouldnt be at Zero if it falls to 0 your call will stall out but that should happen unless something is wrong with it

It is refering to engine revolutions per minute. 1000 mulitplied by the number the needle is pointing to equals engine RPM. 2000rpm in park sounds a little high but I wouldnt worry about it.

It is your tachometer (TACH) Revolutions Per Minute if your car runs fine and no other problems I would ignore it.

if you are in park and its at 2, you are having a idle problem, maybe your idle air valve (motor), vacuum leak, throttle position sensor as you can see there's a lot of things involved, take it to your mechanic.

Is this a Hybrid Civic?????The only reason a Tach would show 0 RPM is when the engine is off. Which I would understand on a Hybrid Vehicle under braking.2000 RPM at park....is your foot still on the gas?
