Normal Idle rpms...M6 What is the normal idle rpms for a M6 Trans Am.
Mine Idles around 1k, and I think thats a little high, I've checked as much as I can think of and tried adjusting the idle adjustment screw, if I lower it anymore the throttle blade sticks inside the throttle body. My only mod is a lid, and it idle at 1k before the lid. Thanks for any help.

Perfectly normal. The idle is set at 800 from the factory, and every M6 I have seen runs at "1000", even though the PCM says it is 800. The gauge is wrong. I wish we could calibrate it, because mine is about 200 rpms off all the way up the tach.

tach says 1k and EFI says ~750
800 here I'd bet the that reading is pretty accurate, but once you get on the car or rev it in neutral, the stock tach falls way behind, probably 300rpms low by the end of 1st gear.
