    What should the idle rev be at

    Hi All

    Can you tell me what the rev should show when the car is warm and at idle.

    I'm on 600 at the minute which seems to low. The ebinge tapps abit but as I press on the accelerator this stops. Should the rev's be higher?

    Cheers

    Mal

    Mines about the same think it's 600 to 800 rpm can't think without taking it out, I do know it's really low compared to my other cars. Hope this helps

    Mine is always around 650rpm - got an Apexi RSM so it's very accurate

    Same here, though I have seen as low as 500 RPM after an ECU reset when the aircon kicks in. Doesn't like that much!

    It does now, but straight after a ECU reset, especially if the engine's warm, it takes it a while to sort itself out
