Idle Revs?

[79TAFB]

what is an ideal idle rev for the car(camaro) when its warm.

[89vert]

For the 97
Stick 500
auto 650
does yours seem high?

[79TAFB]

yeah......its always revin around 900-1000

[89RS]

have you modified your timing?

[79TAFB]

nope...everythin is stock, could it be a vaccuum leak?

[89vert]

gauge could be wrong
both the forth gens my mom had tack said 1000 put a digital timing light on it and it said around 600

[Greg_Z28]

Mine is always ~1000 RPM on the stock tach...had an autometer on there too, and it read closer to ~750 RPM. Car is a 1995 M6 all stock.

well .. coming from someone who knows for sure ... the pcm tries to keep the M6 idle at 850 .. and the A4 idle should be around 500 or 650 (i forget)

but if ur car is an M6 .. the needle should be just under 1000 and thats normal

[79TAFB]

how do i kno if my car is a M6

are you sure thats not the other way around every car i've seen stick idles lower than auto, auto needs to rev higher because the torque converter loads the motor

[79TAFB]

thanx dudes.....my brothers gonna have it checked out at his school.

[Nin]

anyways...i checked it out with a snap on scanner and it read 790-810 RPM....idling in neutral....

M6...normal or not?

[Mike K]

M6 idles at 850 which looks almost like 1000 on the tach.

[Nin]

that's exactly what it looks like...and when i checked it with the scan tool it read 800

[sam]

[Mr. TroPiCal]

Ls1 will idle rough, but not more than about 800rpm i think....anyways, raced an Altima tonight, you can imagine how that turned out ::)
