Hi Blendy. Thanks for contacting us tonight. When you have an issue where the RPM increases when it’s in park it’s typically due to a vacuum leak or a problem with the idle control valve. It could also be due to dirty or clogged throttle body. This is something best inspected by a professional mechanic, so you know what repairs to complete.
