I have a question for you guys where does your rmp's stay at while in idle. The reason I am asking I just installed new gauges and I though it idled at 1 rpm. Now it is at 1/2 I dont want to touch it until I find out where it is supose to be at.

 

I believe you mean 1000 rpm. Not 1 rpm.

Your idle should be at 750 rpm +/-50. This should be while the car is in Nuetral. When it's in gear, my idle speed decreases to about 600-650.

 

Yeah I mean 1000 rpm sorry. OK the I should be ok with it being at about 500 rpm then. Its not gonna throw me off any

 

hmmmm...well, my cars aint normal my idle in nuetral is around 1400, and in gear its 700...i tink its da iacv or the tps...oh well, ill fix it later

 

You probably need to have the idle adjusted. There is a thing in Chilton manual that shows all the neccessary steps. RPM should be 750 for autos, 700 for manuals, +/- 50rpms.

My wonderful idle is constantly varied between 600 and 0 in neutral or with the clutch in. The little bastard stalls alot when I put it in neutral to coast to a stoplight or am coasting through a parking lot. If I were you, I'd be happy with 500

 

idle during the day = 700
idle at night with headlights on= 700
idle with A/C on = 800
