What should be the correct Idle RPM?
1992 Camaro Z28, L98 Rebuilt with mild cam and Custom chip.
What should the car idle at when it's cold in park? It used to be like 900rpm.. And now my mechanic has it at like 1,100-1,500 idle in park.. And then you put it into gear, it's around 1,000 rpm..
The tach now is fluctuating from around 1,200 - 1,500 (needle and engine rpm) with car in drive is bouncing back and forth (along with the actual rpm of the engine) when the engine is at temperature.
The cam is : http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CC...8&autoview=sku
No Cats.
Mechanics are always having problems trying to time my car.. They complain how it stalls when they set it correctly and then dies when they put it into gear (rpm drops).. Took them 45 mins just to set the timing..
