I20 revs on gear change!!!!

My car i20 shows normal rpms on start... around 850 to 900 rpm. This is ok. All fluids, battery etc are ok. No warning lights on instrument cluster.

Now, I go for ride and change gears in any gear from high to low or vice versa. The moment clutch is depressed fully and also gas pedal fully released too, as against the normal rpm, the rpm rises a bit say difference by 300. This is very much noticeable even when changed from 4 to 5. Its happening just 5 days ago.

Please help fix this issue.
Thanks.

1.2 petrol 5 speed manual transmission.

Issues.
1. Hissing sound only when turn off from engine running. But no sound during engine running.

2. On start, rpm is normal. But overtime when the car is being used like for 10 minutes or longer, rpm drops and stay low when idle.

3. When changing gear either from high to low or vice versa with gas pedal fully released and the clutch fully depressed, the rpm revs high. This revs is very very noticeable even from 4 gear to 5. Before it was not like this.

All fluids, battery, oils etc etc are fine and perfect.

Please kindly refer to the link for more clear description...

Sir, one idea before replacing the pcv valve.

Started the engine, and took off the engine cap and left open, the pcv valve and hose are attached too. Now, I off the engine, however, still the sound exists with "engine cap removed".

To my understanding, the sound is made by the air "blowby gas" within the piston which travels to pcv hose through the pcv valve. So, this gas now must come out to the open cap and make no sound anymore. But, when left opened, still the sound persists.

Please correct the above ideas ?

From what you described, the sound is actually being made when the manifold vacuum that is acting on the valve is removed (engine switched off). I don't think the sound has anything to do with "blowby gas" or the pressure in the crankcase. You could connect a vacuum pump to the valve and pull/release vacuum with the engine off to confirm, or just use the money you'd need to spend buying a vacuum pump to buy a new valve and confirm valve failure by substitution of the part.

Remove the pcv line from the engine. Started the engine, and the valve is sucking my thumb, and I off the engine. At this point, the same hissing sound still arises which was the same case when the pcv system is connected to the engine. The sound comes only at this pcv connection and not from engine compartment.

Following were tested which every one confirm ok.
1. Pcv valve is sucking when block by thumb. This is ok.
2. The hose also is sucking when block by thumb. This is ok.
3. The pcv valve give a knocking sound when shaking independently. This is ok.

And air passage is blocked when it is blow through the smaller hose of the pcv valve but comes out when blow through opposite hose of the valve. This too is ok.


From the above practical test, is it pcv valve failure? But I think it's very unlikely that it is failing coz it seems all practical test are ok.

It sounds like the valve is functioning correctly, but you have also confirmed that the unusual sound you hear when shutting down the engine is coming from the valve. You asked what was causing the hissing sound and now you know.

Also, for the rpm issues, I disconnected the iscv and started the engine. The rpm immediately rises to 1to1.1k rpm and when reinsert back, it drops to around 8k again which is the same case as was before.
The reason I suggested disconnecting the ISC actuator was to see if that is where the hissing sound was coming from. You've already figured out where the sound was coming from so there wasn't any need to disconnect it now.

But many times I'm confused how pcv valve is positioned....see picture attached herewith for example.

The gases are not supposed to touch with oils .....but....in present case, it seems gases are coming under the top engine cover where oil spill and scattered all throughout the camshaft etc etc

Your picture is a little over simplified. The PCV valve doesn't just pass through the rocker cover into the inside of the engine where all the oil is. It passes into an oil separator chamber that is designed to separate the liquid oil and the gases, although some oil vapour is always drawn through the PCV valve.
