What's Everyone's Idle RPM in Drive?
What's everyone's Idle RPM in drive?
Mine is around 550-600 rpm. Mine hasn't really ever idled at 750, like it should. So, I was wondering if anyone else has the same idle rpm as me.
This rpm I mentioned is fully warmed up, with A/C off. I suspect I need to clean the IACV and throttle body, but I don't have time to do so. Plus, it's been this "low" for almost a year now.

Not sure that many will be able to give an honest answer. The tach is not even close to accurate at low RPM. If it's not stumbling I would say it's fine. Probably need to plug in to see what the idle actually looks like.

It's still super smooth at idle, which is why I'm not concerned too much. I'll eventually clean the iacv and throttle body, but probably not for a while. LOL
I had no idea about the tach not being accurate at low rpm. I learned something new today. yay

One more thing I forgot to mention is that after getting off any highway or freeway my idle rpm will be proper at around 750. That always been the case, though.
