What should my car idle at?

1hot5.0 · 09-10-2002, 07:55 PM

I was just wondering what my car should be idling at when it is in drive at a stoplight. Does 625 rpm sound about right? My car is BONE STOCK except for a k&n panel filter and a removed air silencer. Thanks!

There will be an idle range on the emissions sticker under the hood. Typically it's 650-775 I believe. So you should be fine.

I reset my computer today (as my idle was lumpy) and now my car runs like a dream! I hadn't reset it when I put in my K&N and now I feel like I have a couple extra hp.

Thanks everyone for their help!
