Weird Idiling
Hi bros,
Just a damn newbie question, tried searching for issues on idiling, but did not find a similar problem. Just collected my car last Friday... Still running in the engine... When i start the car up early in the morning, idiling goes up immediately to abt 2000+ rpm before dropping to abt 1000+rpm... is this normal? After its warmed up, its fine, just that the engine sounds higher pitched after initial ignition... would appreciate some advice on this... thx! |
sounds fine to me. mine does the same
|
Perfectly fine. Warming up the engine. Fret not.

I got that too. idling goes up to 2000rpm then goes down. This only happens when the car engine is cold. Once warmed up, its ok.
|
Thx alot bros... that sure puts my mind at ease!
|
same here... just dont whack ur engine too hard before its properly warmed up... at least thats what i try to do...
|
its normal bro
dun be too alarmed .....sometimes if u warm up long enough , u might even smell some burning smell.... new car syndrome ...its like that |
its very normal lah...happens to me from day 1 til now...I think its due to the cold
start if i'm not wrong? Shld be some kind of auto choke or something... As for the high pitch sound...bro, I think u juz hear the roar of the rotary...n the myth is that it sound even better at 9000rpm... heehee... :naughty: |
Yup, as wat everyone has said- its perfectly normal for the RPM to go up higher than normal when you engine is cold. My other cars do the say thing as well, not just the RX8.
|
Yup, normal. I always let it stabilize at below 1,000rpm(900-850rpm) before driving off in the morning.
|
Many thx to everyone! Hope to see u guys this Sunday!
|
initial idling at 2000 rpm is too high even 4 a cold engine....
|
It does go up to 2000 rpm but only for a short while but you should be looking at bout 10-15 seconds max before rpm drops back to normal.
"Info is based on SINGAPORE weather and having left the car for about 10-12 hours" |
cold mornings, mine goes up to abt 1800, 10 secs later 1200, couple of mins later 850+. It's normal
