Is it 800 verified by a scan tool or are you going by the dash tach? Because the dash tach is not exact. I've got mine set at 750, because at 550 idle with the cooling fans on the battery gauge dipped close to yellow.

that is odd. do you have a tune?

maybe it was idling higher than that and i just didn't notice. or maybe it was a random ses light that just happened to come on just as i put it in neutral for the first time with the tb. went away when i fixed the blade though.

i'm going by the tach but i should hook the scanner up to it and see what its idling at. I'll do it tomorrow and let u guys know what the results are.

no tune here. Most likely the blade was the case for you.

500-550 rpm's on my 2001 Z28 in drive. The 1998 tach's are known to be less accurate than the later model's.
