When I start up my Max for the first time in the morning, or after a long time of not moving, the engine idles at 1300 RPM. I was wondering if other auto Maximas idle that high under those conditions? Once I get to my destination, and put it in park, the engine then idles at 700 RPM.

 

That's normal.

 

mine has also started to do this recently... exactly the same RPMs too.. could it be cuz i reset my ECU??

 

Thats what I got...

 

Yup, mine idles about the same

 

Guys, thats normal, when car is cold or not driven for for while it starts at 1200-1500 rpms, and later while u warm up her and then start driving it will gradually drop down to 650-750 rpm for auto.

 

Yep, cooler sumed it up.

That is normal on my 99 as well.

 

Uh, I said it was normal as the first reply.

 

dude your "normal" was ambigous and I had to clear up in detail.

Chill medicsonic!

 

not to be redundant but ya its normal, the more the merrier right?

 

I WILL NOT chill.

 

hmm.. mine is also high at startup, but by the time it's warmed, idle is 475-500. is that not good? seems smooth and minimal vibration still.

 

thats fine, same things happens to my car when i drive it on hwy

 

My 96 auto GXE does about the same. About 1200 RPM when cold and about 750 RPM after warmed up, with everything else off. The only thing I noticed is after the dealer performed 30K maintenence two months ago, the warmed-up RPM incresed a little, from 700 to 750.

 

Thanks for the replies guys. I just wanted to make sure that the 1300 RPM at start up was common for other Maximas.
