Where should my Idle be? Just got a 98 z28, im very new to the ls1 motor i think imight be idling a bit high. I first would like to know what the normal idle is for these ls1 motors, because if its much lower than what im at now, im still under a warrenty so i can take it in. hopefully nothing is wrong, i just bought it.
thanks guys

Re: Where should my Idle be? Mine idles at around 1100rpm. That seems much higher than the 750 stock. I know that tach isn't the most accurate, but that seems like a lot to be off. Is there anyway to bring it down without LS1edit?? Or does it really matter?? It doesn't seem to hurt much. BTW I have a 6-speed, just in case you didn't see the sig.

Re: Where should my Idle be? Well without tuning no. Unless its a sensor off that is making it idle higher. You could take it the dealership and tell them to flash the computer, someoen before you may have changed something.

Re: Where should my Idle be? 1100 isn't so bad. Mine idled at 300 for a bit. Then I figured out that some dirt or dust had gotten into the plug for the MAF connection and problem solved once I cleaned it out. I've had the problem creep back on me once, I'm still thinkin about some electrical contact cleaner on the MAF wires.
