Re: my idle seem kinda of low
4000 -5000 ????
Re: my idle seem kinda of low
DUDE!!!!!..... 4000-5000!!!...... I think you mean 400-500RPM. Cheeck your belts, especially the one connected to your alternator. When you have a lot of things going at once (headlights, radio, wipers, rear defog, etc) it draws a lot of power. Check to make sure they're tight.

<BR>k, yeah i'll check the belts, is that maybe why they squeak in the morning? when its cold? [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

Re: my idle seem kinda of low
Alright youve got the same engine as I do so it should be set at around 750RPM in neutral turn your ac and fan on high and see what your rpm jumps to it should automaticly set after awhile so let your car run for about 5 min and tell me what it sets at..<P>Daniel Jones<BR>94' MX-3 RS<BR>Blaze Red

Re: my idle seem kinda of low
I had the same problem with my 92' GS. Turns out the intake had a small hoe about the size of a pin prick [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]
