Hi,

Just bought a 97 maxima.. Only a couple issues, I'll address one at a time in different posts.

First issue is that it idles at about 600rpm... is that normal? I'm not a car guy so just don't know.

Is there something I can look at or tweak to drop the idle, or is that something I should take it into get looked at?

Thanks,

Dan

 

i have the same thing and same car, i posted the same question and if its manual apparently its supposed to idle around 600 to 650

 

hmmm. mine's an automatic, but that lessens my concern. thanks!

Anyone out there with an automatic that can answer?

Dan

 

i think 700 is normal
mine is idling around 500 :/

 

i have a 97 auto and mine idles around 600, seems normal to me.

 

For the last time, idling don't mean ****. It's idling in NEUTRAL, for autos and 5spd, that matters. For 5spd it's 625rpm and autos it's 700rpm in NEUTRAL...

 

i think my 97 auto idles at 500rpm...would tha be good or bad?

 

mine idles at 550-650 in DRIVE but I set it for 750 in neutral and it's great...

 

i have a 98 auto with 25k and it idles at 850

 

my 98 with 102k 5spd is 625-650

 

man my idle for my 99gle In neutral is almost 900, I think my throttle cable is too tight, I keep it nice and tight!
