What does everyones car idle at?

Nismo221 · 05-27-2011, 04:14 PM

My car is idling around 1100-1200 RPMs and my gas millage has gone way down to around 11-16 per gallon. Im assuming the idle is because of my mods and the gas millage is because of my right foot. What does everyone else idle at?

650-700ish when the engine is warmed up...

Red__Zed · 05-27-2011, 04:15 PM

800ish

Mods do not impact your idle unless you changed the idle with a tune.

Your idle should be 650 with the A/C compressor off. With the A/C compressor running, it will go up to anywhere between 800-1000.

And your mods should not affect your idle

Mine is 700 rpm,with A/C off,A/C on drop to 650 rpm,with gear in "D" 550-600rpm.

Keep in mind sometimes reading the needle isn't as accurate as something OBDII-based either. Needle calibration / angle of viewing / human eye, etc.

Mine is at 650rpm in neutral and 600rpm in drive

Yeah I will just have Z1 check it when I have it tuned in July.

I just had mine bumped up when I got the tune its right at 850 or so when warmed up, it was idleing alittle ruff when it warmed up with all the parts I have on
