The RPM of Nissan Altima stays high when drive over 65 MPH.

I have this problem too. My car is a 2005 Nissan altima. When I drive over 65 MPH, the RPM will increase along with the speed. At 75 MPH, the RPM is about 3000 MPH. However, when I drive my Dad's Honda Accord, even at 80 MPH, the RPM stays around 2500. Does that mean there is some problem with my car?

No....the rpms differ from engine to engine and from manufacturer to manufacturer. RPM's are always higher at higher speeds.

Testimonial: "thank you very much"

Shear coincidence. You have a transmission problem. Doing 60 MPH your RPM's should be around 2000, Usually a little less. One of you has a heavier foot than the other.

The RPM of 2007 Nissan Altima stays high when drive over 65 MPH.

It sounds like the trans is not reaching Overdrive final gear, this is controlled by the computer that shifts the transmission. What needs to be done now to see what is keeping it from shifting into OD is have the Transmission control module (TCM) scanned for fault codes by the dealer or a shop that has the correct electronic scanner for reading the TCM.

2005 Nissan Altima cuts off while driving.

Dear Tajack73: Nissan had a voluntary recall campaign on the 2002,2005,2006 Altima's with the 2.5 litre engines It envolves reprogramming the ECM.
The campaign ID # RD0712 NHTSA #: 07V-527
2005 Altima Vin's 1N4AL11**5C 100003-957025
1N4AL11**5N 400000-934180

The symptom you have described fits the one they have describe in the bulletin. Check with Nissan and see if your car falls within the campaign. Let men know how you do.

Stick shift # Automatic RPM

That is normal,If you do the same speed in 4th gear the rpm's will almost double.

The rpm's will repond faster in a manual than an automatic.

In a manual the engine supplies the power required directly to the gear that you have selected thus the engine rpm's will increase or decrease as needed.

About RPM

The RPM's should go up with speed and then level out once you mantain a speed.
