Idle After CAI

Jus curious. How does everyone's car idle when it's warm at idle? Mine idles pretty low actually, it idles at like 600, if not lower. It doesn't seem like it's on the verge of shuttin off, but it's jus been idling kinda low, is that normal?Inder

600 on the GT with stock airbox, AC off. AC on, it'll idle closer to 900/1,100

Wow Justin, your Vibe is still stock? I would have thought that you would have a great sound system and a cold air intake now. O well. It's coo.Inder

Well..I put money into the electronics first... I figure since I got the extended warranty, i'd wait until I could afford the really good performance stuff.. I really wanna get that Stafford Turbokit.. And, well.. yeah!Heh.. so yeah, performance accessories are gonna take a little while..

Once mine warms up it sit's at the 700RPM mark, however I'm not sure if the CAI and exhaust is affecting that.

No one here has a rough idle though rite? Mine doesn't but I've sat in some that have.Inder

My rpm changes if I am at idle and turn the steering wheel but thats normal.

Mine ('03 base/auto) has had a rough idle from day one... Sometimes it will sit there and shake while stopped at a light, the next light it will be smooth as silk. Don't really know why, I dismissed that as a "characteristic" of this engine when my friend bought a Vibe, and his does the same thing. Any others noticing the quiver with their 1ZZ?Not sure how slow it idles, haven't driven it in a couple of days. I'll check it out tomorrow. No modifications to my engine, as well, btw.

Yeah, my stutters a bit. I noticed in Merzbow (Paul)'s Vibe, his is smooth. I dunno. Could be the way that some of us broke in our cars.Inder
