  • 3.4L and 3.8L idle speeds

    Ok, here are my questions, what speed do stock 3.4L and 3.8L engines idle at?

    Does the transmission make a difference, and if so, assume it's an automatic transmission.

                    I ask cause when I put my glow gauges on, the tach is always off. The way I fix that is by starting the car and putting the tach needle on while running.

                    (the instrument cluster is a Z28 cluster too, but

                    I rewired a few things and it has been accurate, but I want to know the 3.8L idle so I will know if it is pretty much on with the 3.8 I will be installing.

                        Well, I installed them without removing the needles, so everything worked. The new gauges work great, and I'll take a pic and add them to the appearance section.

                        Thanks for the help everyone!

                          I love my Z28 gauges....cept I put red lights behind and put a real CF bezel on. But yours probably looks good too.

                            Your stock gauges may be innacurate if your cars are idling so high. Plug in a scan tool and you will get more accurate readings.

                            Chances are its around 750.
