    Default idle speed for auto n man?

    whats the idle speed for a auto? and a manual? what should they idle at when warmed up ??

    ive searched for this answer n cant find it.... ive found 600rpm somewhere but dosnt say which one its for..

    will increasing the timing in advance, increase the idle speed?? it sounds like it does...

    not sure on factory idle speed but to turn it up use the screw on the side of the ecu its for idle speed and diagnostics when it is fully turned clockwise.

    700+/- 50 rpm funnily enough both auto and manual have the same idle speed

    700 approx thats what i set mine 2. ive noticed i could not adjust my idle speed on the ECU Screw i adjusted mine on the screw on the throttle body then made sure the lock nut was tightened.
    Same for manual its only a trans thing has nothing to do with the engine, :P

    if you can't get the desired idle speed from adjusting the screw on the ecu then you need to adjust the idle screw on the back of the plenum chamber near the aac valve, the throttle body screw is factory set and should not be messed with.
