IDLE
 

at where on my RPM's should the stick be sitting when my car is on and just sitting there??? it looks like it sits real low? how would i know if its not in the right idle spot???>?

RE: IDLE
 

idle spot should be 1k to 1500 correct me if I'm wrong. But yeah I also have that problem my car idles around 500 to 600 and feels like its going to die or something. Still can't figure out what's wrong.

RE: IDLE
 

it depends on model of car and transmission, on my 95 ex with a manual, the book says sumthing like 650, and 850 or something for the auto. i have mine set a lil higher like 800 - 900 caue ive got bad compression in one cylender and bad motormounts so the higher rpms keep the shakes down

RE: IDLE
 

If you have stock RPM gauge there is a line right above zero. That's the warmed up idle rpm spot.

650.

RE: IDLE
 

that's the "500rpm" mark, you need to have your idle slightly above that. Check the manual for exact specs, but like Chimera said, it's probably 650rpms.

There is a procedure that you need to follow when re-setting idle, it's also found in the manual. Follow the correct procedure or else you're just turning screws..

Look under your hood.. it'll show your idle range
