is that normal for a m6? 94z

 

I'm willing to bet it's just that your tach reads ~200 RPM high, which most do. To really know for sure, the easiest way to check on your actual RPM is to use a good scan tool.

 

Depends on Tach error. Most tachs on 4 gens seem to be 200-300 high. I believe that 950-1000 is fine, but if your tach is off by the usual amount you may be actually running around 700-800, which, in my opinion, may be too low.

Have someone check your "actual" rpm. JMHO

 

Stock M6 cars idle at 800RPM when warm.

What does the tach read at 60MPH in 6th gear? If it's around ~1600 RPM then it just reads a couple hundred RPM too high. I think mine read 1600 RPM but actual was about 1400 to 1450 at highway speeds with the stock 3.42 gears and tires.

 

You are probably correct on stock idle. I think the ideal idle is as low as you can idle smoothly.

I believe mine always showed around 1150-1200 on the tach. When I had small cam installed, I believe it was programmed to idle around 950. It still shows around 1100 on tach.

With the cam, I'm not sure it would idle smoothly at an actual 800, but a stocker might idle very nicely at factory setting.

So if your tach says 1k and your idle is smooth, I wouldn't concern myself about it.JMHO

 

mine says 1500 at 60 mph
or near 1600
thanks

 

Yep, tach is not fully accurate. 800 RPM is stock, as noted, when warmed up.
