At what RPM does your car idle?

[EFFNQWKWE4]

How does your car idle, and where? Mine idles OK, but I think it's kinda high...about 1700-1800rpm in park, and about 1100 in drive. I have very basic mods, with an ATR pit bull chip. Just curious as to where your cars idle. Thanks guys!

Thats too high. I believe a desired idle is around 750-850. Mine is around 775-825 roughly.

Mine idles at 900-1000 in park, 800 in drive. 1700 in park is too high, somethings wrong. IAC maybe? vacuum leak?

Are you going by the stock tach? Because my stock tach is about 1000-1500rpm off. It says my car idles at about 2000, but when hooked up to Turbo Link it shows about 825rpm @ idle. Plus, I think the chip controls the idle--what chip do you have?

Yes...stock tach. It idles almost exactly the same with the stock chip as it does with the ATR pitbull chip. I need X-mas to get here soon so I can open up my scanmaster 2!!!!!!! Thanks guys!

I will almost gaurantee that it is the tach, not the idle. I couldn't believe mine was so far off. Chris Connely, who has seen a whole lot of the these cars told me that most of the tachs are at least 500rpm off.

I have an old performance chip that idles at 825, and a chip from connely's that idles real high, like 1300-1400 is why I say that. Could be the timing difference. Let me know the results when you get the Scanmaster.

My 24K mile GN idles at 1200 RPM per the stock tach, but on turbolink its a perfect 750.

700 in park....900 in drive.

700-750 according to the scanmaster
