Another high idle thread

**Maro SS** · 10-03-2010, 06:10 PM

ive searched a few of them and read alot about cleaning your MAF sensor and IAC problems or even a vacum leak.. but im not sure heres the deal

its not that serious but when i start the car (usually on a cold start) the engine will idle at about 1000rpms and after a few mins drop to about 800

this isnt normal? or is it? lol i just took notice to it a few days ago and am a little confused.. considering it idles normal after a few mins i wanna say its not a vacume leak ... what do you guys think?

it is completely normal to idle high on a cold start

lol really? i kinda thought maybe it was normal... i think maybe i just started to take notice cause i just had some work done..

you know when u get something done all of a sudden you hear and see every little thing about your car and ur like "was that like that before?"

If your stock your air pump runs when you first crank it and turns off after a min or 2. It might be idleing just like it suppose to do.

1000 rpm upon start up is completely normal. Hell mine indicates about 1100-1200 on a cold start... But Our factory tachs arnt exactly accurate, so im not worried.
