well i feel stupid (idle issue)
 

took the needles off to do an led swap and forgot to mark where the tach was at idle

anyone know the idle rpm for a 1995 2.3l?????

thanks guys

It could vary between different trucks depending on proper tune and engine quality. Just put the needle back on when the truck is NOT running. Easy. Done.

Best/most accurate way to do it would be A) use a digital reader or another tach to get a reading or B) find a good RPM calculator and use a speed/gear where the TC is locked so you have a straight reading (although it involves doing this while moving).

EDIT - You have a manual, N/M the T.C. thing.

alright thanks guys
ive got it around where it should be for now
im gona take it back apart soon to finish my swap anyway
and down the line after a 351 im gona have new gauges
