Do you mean in the context of "keeping the engine speed high" when driving through deep water, by any chance?
If so, something like 2000 rpm will do the trick, the idea is to stop water running back into the exhaust. (And when you get out, give the brakes a bit of exercise to dry them!)
PS Don't drive into water deep enough to get in the air intake.
Hope that helps.

Most cars idle at between 650 to 850 rpm and some even idle higher at around 1000 rpm depending on engine set up and number of cylinders, 4 cyls = 750 rpm average. Keeping the engine speed high would mean at around 2000 to 2500rpm, I would think.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Engine speed is the RPM. By keeping the RPM high you are able to slow (using the gears) and accelerate quicker. A racing driver will “heel and toe", meaning he keeps the revs up under breaking allowing more torque through the drive train.

Yes, engine speed means rpm. In what context are you talking?

Like they say, it means keeping the revs high, You can do this by leftfoot braking, if You've perfected it.
