Idleling low
 

Did my coils, plugs, and wires and on the first start up she run fine, better than ever. It's been about a week and she is idleing at about 750 RPM.. any ideas? :dunno:

My car always id..les around 750-800 .... i thought it was normal....... i havnt changed coils recently though.......

:icon_tdowI pulled on base today and she damn near died on me...

I have the same issue. Stalled a couple of times.

Compression test time.

Mine idle at 750 - 800 rpm as well since day 1

mine idles at 800, but when the car is moving, it goes up to 1100.

ditto

probably for less engine braking?

Low idle & stalling is probably a vacuum leak. Inspect all the vacuum hoses.

That idle is normal, why it's dying out on you I'm not sure. But my car has always idled 750-800 rpm.

Could be a vacuum leak, just check everything, clean your MAF, air filter, etc. Both of my previous engines that died had these symptoms before compression tests.

and what was determined after the compression test?

They failed, that is why the engines were replaced.
