high idle

[sk8ordie]

what am i supposed to idle at? it idles in Park or Neutral @ about 900rpm. in gear around 500 to 600 rpm. i tried searching but no answer to my specific question cuz it doesn't idle rough or stall out. nice and smooth but it just seems high to me. thanx

anybody? is this normal? or is something wrong...

Does it idle at 900 rpm's in neutral once the engine is warm? Cold engines idle faster in order to reach running temp a little quicker. Everything there sounds normal to me honestly. I would be worried if it was idling at 1200 or above. And as far as the idle in gear, that is totally normal. Any lower than that and its going to stall.

When I first start mine in the @ ~ 1000-1100 (in park).

Then it will drop down to about 800 after a few seconds/minutes (depending on outside temp), and will finally drop down to around 600 when warm.

when its warm it idles around 900. i know when it starts cold it will be up there but dont think it should be when its warm.

Mine jumps in drive and warm... actually always when its warm... goes between 6 and 800. All new vac lines and tcv. No codes either... any ideas. Pcv is also new with vac lines

Just a blind guess and a complete shot in the dark, perhaps the IAC???

I went through 2 with the same thing... oh yeah, forgot to add that I get an awesome (sarcasm) fog horn kinda sound between the filter and TB. I will start this in a new thread.

How is it at 500? Ours is between 8-9oo at ilde in park with ac on. How is it when you drop it in gear? I haven't played sith the idle yet

 

[GAINMOB]

my programmer setting dropped my idle from 8-900 down to 500 in park...changed enging and trans settings

sorry I should have asked how do you like it. I have an edge programmer, so I was thinking of dropping idle, what did you have to change in trans settings to go along with idle drop?

preprogrammed...shift points changed...I guess its fine...I still hear the rumble from the exhaust
