Where does your car idle at? Mine idles at about 900 to 1000 rpm and that seems like too much to me. The plugs and wires haven't been changed in a while so I'm figuring it's that, any other possible reasons?

I have a 1994 Firebird and it idles right around that speed. After my tune up it slowed just a bit, but not enough to really notice.

Keep in mind that the stock tach is generally about 2-300 rpm's off. My car idles at 725 according to a tech2 scanner, but the tach shows about 900.1997 Y87 Camaro with a motor and some stuff.Comment

SPED 214 is right, I do not know of any F-Body that has an "accurate" Tach, any type of code scanner/computer will reveal that the actual engine rpm is almost always about 300 rpm's below what the dash showsJared W.

According to my tach, I idle at 700rpm's. My tach must be accurate, because if it was what ya'll say, my car would be idling at like 400rpm's, which I doubt :DKyle M<br />--------------<br /><a href=\"http://grdws6.netfirms.com\" target=\"_blank\">2002 Trans Am WS6</a> (silver, A4) - lid, cutout, stage 3 shift kit, 12 bolt, vig 3200, tranny cooler, bmr sfc/stb, torq thrust ii. <b>12.688 @ 106.47mph -=- 1.756 60\'</b>Comment
