What does your MP5 Idel at

[chopperman]

Just got the car yesterday. The car is idling over 1000 rpms, is that normal. Also is there a how to to change the spark plugs. And when I brake I hear a noise that sounds like im sliding. Does that mean that the pads needs to be changed

mine idles aroudn 1000 i think

i dont really pay attention to it though

 

[toucci]

mine idles from 680-750

idling over 900 or so will cause a high idle CEL

 

[bumpin_p5]

Mine idles around 700 depending on whether or not the a/c or high output stereo is on.

It will idle a bit higher than normal until the car is warmed up.

 

[carter1551]

yeah before the car is warmed up or before i begin to drive it, it will idle a little above 1000 but once i get going it will drop off to a point like 500-800, somewhere in there

 

[bazooka joe]

warm around 500

 

[jR.]

700 for me!

 

[chopperman]

Ok cool, mine is around 700 after it is warmed up good. Thanks guys.

 

[neuspeed_junker]

800

Around 700 I think.

Fully warmed up with AC off, according to my digital tach the engine idles at 690-700 RPM and never varies outside that range.

With AC on, the engine idles at 740-750 RPM again without variation outside that range.

~700 here.

ur #1 question was answered and i was around the same level listed above!!
#2 question about spark plugs= their is probally a how to but it is so simple maybe not!!
pull the 4 bolts holding on the coil packs! pull out the coil packs and the other 2 plug wires! get a spark plug socket with an extension and turn left down the 4 holes
with the brakes, i would change the pads, it will not hurt anything!!

700-800 for me, but first it shoots up to like 1500 and then slowly comes down

Is your car auto or manual? Autos idle higher.

its manual. I asked my friend who had a MX-6 and he said he thinks it does it to pump fluids through all the lines when its cold

 

[P-Funk!]

There is a cold idle and a warm engine idle speed. Cold should be ~1,000 rpm and the warm should be between 650-750rpm...

 

[wmbeaver]
