What does your max idle at?
For some reason looked at the rpms the other day while I was at an intersection and I was idling at 500 rpms this seems kinda low in my opinion. Is this normal for you guys? If not is it a big problem and how should I fix it? Thanks in advance

1200 cold and 700 warm. I think auto is supposed to be 500. If it runs smooth don't worry about it.
|
Your car is definitely idling low. I'm auto and cold I idle at 1500 and when it warms up I'm at either 700 or 800rpms.
Try cleaning your TB, that should help. |
That's low for even a manual, which by FSM can idle the lowest.
Recommended, no load, warm idle varies a little bit by years but still is around... MT 550-650 rpm. AT 600-700rpm. Weather outside controls my idle (sometimes I can predict the weather based off of it)... 550 for good weather days and about 700 for bad days. And warming up... My car has idled @ 2k many times before, but those days were extremely cold..... Houston has never seen any temps near what the car saw in KS, the highest I've seen it idle down here is 1.4k, and that was once. Usually the first start of the day it roars to 1.4k and calmly backs down to 1.2... then lower and lower.... |
I am auto with 1400RPM cold and 650RPM warm.
|
1200 cold start up...
650 idle up to temp 950 with ac on 6550 RPM at WOT |
My auto idles at 1200rpm cold & 600rpm warm.
On a warm engine just open the IACV adjustment screw a little further to increase the RPM. It's a black plastic screw on the top left of the Idle Air Control Valve. |
I idle at 550 as well , I am thinking its my throttle body.

:newbie:
:o |
If I give my maxima some gas , and revv above 2k rpms and let off quickly the idle drops to 4k and stalls a little and comes back up , what could this be?
My maxima idles at 550 rpm with no AC and I usually put my ac on 1 so it idles correctly (700-750 rpm.) |
yezzir Im a newbie lol just got my 96 auto a month ago.

Is there a good write up link on cleaning th TB? the one in the how to does not work. and on my honda you just unplug IACV (not even sure my max has IACv since its auto...) and take off 4 screws and 2 hoses and its done. looks a bit more menacing on the max. |
mine's here too but i turned it up a little wanted all the slack out of the throttle cable as possible

My car used to idle a bit high and so I lowered the RPM with the IACV screw and then after cleaning the TB it went back to stock idle. LOL
So here is the low down: Cold RPM-1200 Warm- 800 In gear- Somewhere between 500-600 I thought lowering the RPM would save gas, but it didn't make much of a difference :( |
just adjust the idle air screw

My maxima idles at 550 rpm with no AC and I usually put my ac on 1 so it idles correctly (700-750 rpm.) Since replacing my knock sensor, all of my issues have been resolved...hesitation, idling issue, and poor gas mileage. |
i got automatic. in the morning its usually around 1500. durin the day its about around 700
|
cold mornings ~1200
any time warm ~500 |
1200 cold warm 650-750 and I have 00VI
|
Strangely... my auto is 900-1,000 warmed up.
This is on a 4th gen. |
^vacuum leaks cause high idles, or your car's idle simply isn't adjusted
|
1000 on my manual, and around 1300 on my auto. I live in Oklahoma, if that tells you about the weather =p
|
Speaking of gas mileage, I'm new to the forums, what kind are you getting? I feel like my 98 maxima auto gets about 21 mpg. I feel like I keep it fairly well maintained, so I'm curious what others are getting.
|
Hey guys just thought I'd check in. The past couple of days I've been monitoring my rpms since it was so low when I first posted this strangely it fixed itself 1100 cold 650 warm. I drive manual btw
|
What is the tps and how to disconnect it?
