My firebird is idling a little rough... can't figure out the problem. Do y'all's cars idle @ 1000 RPM???? This seems a little high and I don't know anyone with an F-body to compare to. Thanks for any help!

Mine will idle at 700 rpms once it gets warm. It's not stock though.1997 Nassau Blue Vette<br />1989 Jeep Cherokee 4x4 (lifted with 31\" tires)<br />2000 V6 Camaro, loud, cammed 210rwhp *SOLD* -

mine idles at 1025 when cold
725 when warm

idling at 1k when the car is warm (even though it should back down before the car is completely warmed up, lets just say warm is when the temp needle is right under 200 deg), is a tad high. Why it would do that, I really couldn't tell you off the top of my head.2001 75th Anniversary V6 Pewter Firebird w/ Chrome Wheels, T-Tops, & Y87<br />Mods: Free Ram Air, !Silencer, Holley Filter, Full 3\" Hooker Catback, 3\" Cat<br />Best time: 15.095 at 90.00 MPH with a 2.127 60\'Comment

Keep in mind that the stock tach's are not that accurate. My tach shows that I idle at 1000, but a tech2 scanner shows the true RPM to be around 700-750.1997 Y87 Camaro with a motor and some stuff.Comment

mine idle's at around 900 according to the tach, I don't trust the tach to be that accurate though..
98 manual w/FRA and K&N.. and I think I may have some carbon buildup on the throttle plate, not allowing it to close properly, not sure about that one though...-Brad
