It's been bugging me for a while now that I've just started driving it, and I had to post to get an answer, does my 08 touring seem to be abnormally high, idle wise;
-starts up and runs at nearly 1500 rpm idle
-takes about 30 seconds to a minute to settle down to 1000 rpm
-finally settles in to 750 rpm after 5 min of sitting...so sayith the oem tach.
This just seems too high to me - 1000 rpm for 30 sec would be ok, then settle in to 750 rpm.
Whats normal hot idle- btw?{in drive or park - I don't have a shop manual}
Maybe the gas pedal/spring mod is too tight or something..... thoughts/comments?
Add- this is when the car sits in the morning, with no movement. If I'm in a hurry she clunks into gear harder than I like, so I've let her sit and warm up alittle.
