Idle for the 3.4?

[pontiac nino]

Hi guys, I was just curious if other 3.4L owners can answer this question. What is you're normal idle on startup and once you're car has warmed up.

Thanks. [img]smile.gif[/img]

when I start the car it jumps to about 1450

after a sec it drops to about 850 and stays there hot or cold.

anywhere from 800-1000 RPM's

Cool thanks for the replies guys, reason I ask is before i had replaced the head gasket the car idled at 1200 and stayed at the constant now with this replaced seems to idle at 800, well at 1400 first then evetually to 800 now. It kinda makes me nervous to have the car idle at that rate but I guess im normal cuz all you guys seem to have around the same idle. Although idle slightly drops when i turn the A/C on (I guess this is normal too)
Oh well thanks guys I really appreciate it! [img]smile.gif[/img]

off the topic, but hey nino, probably next thursday or friday we are gettting as many v6's together to go to the track (so we have people to race against instead of having to go against 8's). me and another friend have probably 8 cars together right now going, shoot me an email if your in. lucas49er@yahoo.com.

hehe, with the cam, it pretty much jumps around. SHOULD be 800-1000 RPMs though.
