Weird RPM in idle!!
i have a 93 GS, and when i start the car and the temp outside is like 3 or 4 degrees, RPM will be @ 2500 and when the car finally warms up idle would be @ 1000 or 1500, would somebody help me with this problem, i have seen other GSs and their idle is high when they start, but later it comes down to like 300 or 400 over that white line between 0 and 1000 RPM!<P>any help will be appreciated, and forgot to mention, the damn thing has no problem and flies like a jet! amazing torque<P>thanx in advance<BR>latez

hey, i also have a 93 gs, and i have the exact same problem when i start in cold weather. it idles realy high, but after comes down to 300 or 400. i have no idea why they idol high, but im sure its nothing serious, cause mine runs perfect too...
Re: Weird RPM in idle!!
In cold weather the idle goes high, cause the auto choke kicks in. This lets you engine warm up so it doesn't die. Once warm should return to normal RPM level. Atleast this is what I was told..

Re: Weird RPM in idle!!
Stop complaining, its idling like that because its running. Lowest my car will idle is 600rpm and thats rare once it gets cold. Most cars idle around 1000rpm, some higher, some cars will die if they get below 1000rpm. Is you're engine quiet, does it run smoothly, is it idling at 2500rpm constantly? Those are the big questions.<P>There are way too many idle problem questions popping up at one time. Its winter, its cold, and so you don't stall at every stopsign or light your engine WILL idle high until it is warm enough for it not to be a problem. This topic deserves to be in the FAQ forum.

Id say you have an air leek in your inlet manifold or you tps wants adjusting..
