Starting up and idling - Rev count


Nico

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

Does anyone know what the recommended rev count should be when starting up the zed from cold and when it is idle?

 

I noticed that in the mornings when I start her up for the day that the rev count sits around 1100 revs and will the settle around 900 - 1000 after I've driven 3-5 mins and hit the first set of lights. is this normal/expected?

 

Should I be looking at cleaning the throttle maybe?

 

Thanks in advance for any advice given

 

Nico.

I think we have a cold start rev setting of 1200 rpm this should then drop back to standard tick over 650 IIRC after a short time.

 

The standard tick over is slow by most standards and they normally bump it on an UPREV if you have a Vortech like me it gets bumped a lot as the V2 sounds like a washing machine full of stones below 800rpm :lol:

 

Aircon boosts it as well :)

Technical evidence of initial cold start (Car hasn't been started since sunday)

And after a 15 min drive (warmed up idle)

decided to start her up and let her sit in the drive this time. again, hovers around 1100 for the first 3-4 mins then ticks down to around 900 after another 3-4 mins.

 

took her for a quick 5 min lap and then parked her with the engine still on and it now sets at around 700 which I hear is the norm :)
