my car idles at exactly 1000 rpm?? is that the normal idle range?

 

mine's usually in the 6-800 range, though it idles higher when cold in the morning. Does it idle at 1000rpm even when the car's been driving for a while?

I'm not sure what normal idle range is for our cars but 1000 seems a little high. My friend once had an old crown vic that idled at something like 2000rpm, you would take your foot off the brake and it would go flying, you could go 40 without touching the gas

 

I lifted this from another website--

For 91-94 models it’s M/T: 650 (750 for Canada) and A/T: 800

when im driving and i take my foot off the throttle, it usually drops to 1000 rpm, doesnt go lower than that, ya usually in the morning that the idle range.

 

did u do anything to your guages...you may just need to reallight the neadle to point to the right value. Lots of people screw up their speedometer if they don't make the proper location of the neadle when the switch to indiglo, this may be similar.

otherwise, if you adjusted your throttle cable, you may have it too tight so the throttle body is being left open.

do the idle go down when you're in gear and the engine is up to temp?
