    rpm at idle

    hi was looking to find out what the vr4 idling position should be? I have been looking at a idle stepper motor on camskill and they suggest to tune it to between 850~1000rpm.currently my car idles at about 600rpm just intrested to see what every one elses is set at.

    Mine is set at about 500rpm when the air con is off and around 800rpm when on.
    I only speed when i overtake, so i don't spend to much time on the wrong side of the road!!!!!

    Mine sits at about 1500rpm when it is cold and has just been turned on, then it slowly goes down and eventually settles to about 700rpm
