Hey when i am in neutral i am getting about 1200 rpm idle and i heard that is high. Does anyone know what the idle is soposed to be? It is a 5 speed manual.

 

my truck odles high sometime like 1500 amd normally it idles at 1000 but i have a 92 sorry.

 

I have heard it is soposed to be around 700 but i am not exactly possitive on that claim.

 

mine idles around 750 but mines an 03 4.0 SOHC

 

my 03 4.0 SOHC idles in the 800ish range also.

 

My truck will idle around 1200-1400 if I am out of gear and still moving, but when I stop it goes back to around 750-800. Is yours doing that or just staying over 1200?

 

I think mine usually idles around 800-900...when its cold and i first start it, it will idle around 1200

 

Mine will idle at 1200-1400 all the time. When i am moving and in neutral it will drop to 1200 ish and when i am stopped it stays at 1200. I was thinking that maybe my gauge could be messed up because i messed around with my gauges a couple of months ago but i noticed before i messed with them that it was idleing just like it is now. i dont think it is hurting anything but why burn more gas than what is needed?
