Correct Idle Speed?

[Dylaan]

Hey everyone,

My 96 R33 GTS-T has a bit of an idle problem when I'm doing low speed manuvers, such as reverse parking, drive thru and maccas, etc. My mechanic told me that my car thinks it is going to stall, so when I am doing these low speed manuvers the rpm seems to jump up for a few seconds, then it calms down, or if I give it a rev it will also calm down.

What I came here to ask is what does everyone's idle sit at? mine sits at 500rpm when the car is warm, where most cars I believe sit around 800rpm. Before I go ahead and adjust my idle speed I thought I would check what rpm everyone else's car sits at when warm.

I tried searching for the answer for my question previously but could not find it.

thanks for any help, Dylan.

Mine sits at around 6-700 rpm.

yeah should be up around the 700 to 750 mark when warm.

The sticker on the bonnet states it should sit at 650rpm, in saying that I have mine at 800rpm so I sit in cell 2:2 of the fuel/ignition map.

yeah thanks everyone, sounds like mine is sitting a bit too low. Is it easy to adjust it yourself or should I let my mechanic do it? I'm used to Hondas where there is just a little screw on the throttle body you need to turn which is very easy to get to.

Yeh its the same like that... Just undo the 8mm nut then turn the screw...

if thats all it is then its pretty easy,, you just need to adjust the idle screw on the aac,. u know where that is ?

[Dylaan]

nope, i sure dont lol

I'm sure I could get somebody to point it out for me though.

its on the back of the intake manifold heres a pic of the valve, screw it out counter clockwise

Take your car for a drive then pop the bonnet while the cars running and tighten/loosen the screw to the desired rpm.

[mad082]

if you pop the bonnet and then look at the intake plenum from the drivers side of the car. at the back of it (near the firewall) you should see a phillips head screw. that is the idle screw.

here's a pic i just found.
