Help.. Scared =(
Ok recently when i turn on my car to warm up. My idle is at 2000 rpm. I was wondering if that is normal? or do i need to so something asap?
|
Does it return to normal after a couple minutes (if that)?
Its common seeing that when the outside temps are low (like in the winter). Also, did you just disconnect the battery for any reason? |
ur engine was cold thats why..
|
+1! Normal

It's normal.
You want to see a high idle then park it outside overnight in 5 degree weather. When I went out the next day to start it, it cranked over like a champ and went all the way up to nearly 3,000RPM for a moment or two before it started to come down. :SHOCKED: |
I have read where there is an override / defeat of the cold high-idle on the RX-7, and wonder if this is true and if it works on the RX-8 also. IIRC, it involves starting the motor with the clutch pedal pushed in and the transmission in gear.

It is normal, but not normal if it stays at that high rpm... |
it shoots up to higher rpm so the oil pressure would come up quicker so you dont damage the engine
