Idle at 550 rpms?
#5
Out of curiosity could idling at 550 rpm cause a problem with gas millage cuz my car idles that low and i get bad millage, just trying to find out if the two problems are related in anyway.

try to clean IACV, Throttle Body, and change the air and fuel filter if you have not done so. How to's for all can be found in the 4th gen how to's; link in my sig.
Might have to look in hte 60k Service in the how to's for some of these

I don't know about autotragics, but if the idle is at .5 RPM on a 5-spd then it is perfect. An idle of anything above a .7 RPM on a 5-spd is way too high and considered bad.
Anyway, about the thump that some of you hear when at idle is very common due to what else if not weak and slightly deteriorated ignition coil(s). A defective coil always causes these random thumps at idle.

the same thing just happened to me when i diagnosed my ecu , and ended up not switching it off. the car ran idle at .400 rpms, and i bugged out. switched the self test machine to the middle, and ide ran back to normal.

Why is a high idle bad for 5 speeds? I had a new (used-45k mile) engine installed several months ago...I had a bad idle (and a host of other problems) and felt it would be easier and cost less in the long run to just get a new engine....anyway, this engine idles very high! fully warmed up, no throttle movement, its just above 1000 rpms. when driving, if you put it into neutral before a light or whatever, the idle drops to 1500 rpms for a second and then to just above 1000 rpms. I had an auto max prior and the idle was nothing alike. What could be wrong with this engine? Or does it just need simple maintainance like described above? TB cleaning etc...? thanks!

Hmmmm...I don't know what happened. My car idled at 800 rpm (95- 5 speed). I decided to clean my throttle body. It was pretty dirty. After reinstalling everything and starting up the car, my car now idles at 1000 rpm!!! Everything was put back together so I don't know whats wrong. I'll try adjusting the Iac valve. What else could be wrong?
