Afternoon..

I've got a question about how high the EVO idles. My buddies EVO, after it's completly warmed up, and driving pretty much all day, idles around 1000rpm. Sometimes it'll drop down to about 900rpm. Just wondering if this is normal. He has NO mods. It's completly stock.

I also test drove a 05 MR and noticed it did the same after it was completly warmed up.

On another note, My wifes 325 idles at 600rpm after it's warmed up. It could be that the EVO is boosted and the 325 is N/A.

Thanks for any input.

s'where mine idles

 

325 sux, that's why. lol

should hand between 900 and 1000 rpm, unless you got cams.

 

900 here

 

The computer probably adjusts idle speed between 900 and 1000 depending upon the engine temp, and # of accessories running like a/c and radio, etc. to give the car what it needs at any given time for optimum performance.

Hey, c'mon now.... that's my wifes car and she LOVES it as much as i'm gonna love my IX. hehe.....

 

mine stays at about 900 rpm with 272 in/ex with a nice lope, funny thing is that the lope is never drastic enough that is shows up on the tach. sorry if this is doesn't contribute to the thread.

 

Even with cams your target idle should not be altered. If it's different you need to adjust the idle so that it's set to the stock target setting (840 +- 100 i beleive). The proper way to set idle is to use a MUT tool so you get the most accurate setting.


THe 325 idles lower probably because it's a v6. Notice the larger the engines, the lower they can idle smoothly because of rotating mass, etc.

 

BZZZT. Wrong. Straight six. The engine management is light years beyond Mitsubishi's and a BMW will never waver, even with cams. Ask me how I know .

 

mine idles between 900-2000.. sometimes it'll stay at 2000 for a while too.. or 1500.. usually when its cold.

 

900-1000

 

850 - 950 with 264/264 cams. Solid, never really dips or studders; thanks to Dynoflash tune.

 

Service manual says 850 +-50, i think.

look on the underside of the hood for a sticker that says what motor is in it. It will tell you the timing and idle speed.

 

Well if it helps, my 95 Eclipse GST used to idle at 750 +/- by the book. And the evo idles between 900-1100
