when my car is just sitting there idleing the needle of rpm sits rigth on top of the 1000 line is it suppose sit there or is it suppose to cover the 1000 line rpm line i just want to know if my car is idleing fine hope u all get the picture of wat im talking about or at what rpm should it be idleing at so i can adjust screw

 

750

 

so 750 is the idle i though is was 1000 and is that bad where my idle sits right now do i have to lower it more

 

Yeah, it should be around 750 or so. However, you may be idling fine right now, you'd have to check with an external tachometer to get the exact idle speed, I've heard of the stock tachs not being too accurate at low RPMs.

Even up top they tend to slow a tad.

I would agree to double check before any panic sets in.

How cold is it though isn't around 1100 the cold start idle?

Yes, 1100 is cold start. kikcrx: is this when your car is fully warmed up?

 

yeah 1100 is where it sits when engine is warm is that bad

 

lower it to 750

 

not to thread jack, but how do you lower it?? my odbo b16a idles at 1100 warm.. i would like to know what i need to do to lower it.

 

i know its probably a dumb question but where is 750 exactly how many lines do i go down from 1000 and another question messing with that does it affect the cars performance or does it run the same even though if i were to mess with that

 

anyone

 

what if i leave it at 1000 is that bad

 

so is it bad if i leave it at 1000 rpm

 

dude, it is not that hard to lower it to 750, just turn the screw on the throttle body. The 750 mark should be just below the 1000. You should not have an idle past 750 rpm, end of story.

 

but will my car run diffrent if i change the idle or it will run the same and is it true i have to jump the ecu too if i do this

 

i moved the screw trying to get a better idle and it felt like it got slower could it be cause i messed with the screw
