    Default VS 5 litre Idle

    Hello, just wondering what rpm my 5 litre VS should be sitting on when in drive in a stationary position because mine sits on around 450-500 rpm and sometimes i get some small vibrating becuase it gets pretty low but it never cuts out, when i put it into park it come up to around 900 rpm. Thanks tom

    those revs you quoted seem about fight , my 5 ltr idles in park at about 800 rpm . when idling in drive tacho shows around 500- 600 rpm. if you are worried about it check the tune items , like spark plugs , leads , air filter , make sure battery leads are tight on the terminals , clean throttlebody and IAC .......CHEERS.

    you can adjust idle on the throttle body there is a idle adjust screw.
