I am having some idle problems and maybe it is because of my idle speed, It is set at about 650-700 RPM. Also I have low oil pressure and I'm sure its because the bearings are worn and the motor needs rebuilding but I figured maybe a heavier oil can get the oil pressure up a little until the new motor gets in. I am running 10w-40 now. What idle speed and oil do yall use? I had a post about my idling problem not too long back and I am still going to replace some sensors and clean the intake but if my idle speed now is low then it might fix the prob. Thanks, JB
