Obviously its computer controlled, but are there any tricks we could use to raise or lower the idle speed? I thought about adjusting the accelerator pedal slightly, but I don't know if that will work.

 

hmm.. interested in this too.id like to raise it to like 1200 or something like that..

 

I'm interested in this also.

 

Curious on why you want to raise the idle speed, especially since it will probably eat up slightly more fuel.

Is it for smoothness?

 

yes, the main reason would be to smooth the idle. I doubt the fuel consumption would increase materially if you raised the idle by 50-100rpm. you'd have to be sitting at idle for most of your driving experience.

 

techs can do it with the wds. ask one and point out the roughness. one of the mri's talks about doing it i think.

 

As I understand it, they can do while hooked up to the WDS, but they can't make it stick after disconnecting, thats how Snap-On explained it to me.

 

hmm. thats shitty..

 

flash it in

 

Getting the N flash helped raise mine a little.

 

i dont get how raising it would help.. mine idles at liek 2500.. and is rather loud i would think you would want to decrease it...

 

2500!!! thats nuts..

you must get pretty crazy "unintended" off-line launches!! i think you should get it checked out...my car idles at 2K then drops from there on.. only when its wariming up...

 

The idle revs you can set at the ECU, but the value is resetted periodly. I think the funktion is only for testing anything. 2500 ? Are you crazy ? Ask your clutch what it think about that ! 1.000 or 1.100 should be fine.

Mine is the same as RX4life....you should get yours lowered.

 

maybe he's talking about the warm up period where it's up at 2.5k?

 

Still kind of high don't you think?

 

uh yeah idle rpm should be between 750 and 950. an idle 1k rpm or more is too high

 

No, I'm talking the first minute or so when you start her up. It stays up at 2.5k for a bit and then settles down to about 1k. You never noticed this? I've seen it on here before...

 

nope.. my idle dont go above 2k....you car must be verrrrry cold.. hehe

 

Mine goes from like 2k to about 900 after warm up.
