FD3S DRIFT

If my car (93 fd3s rebuilt motor stock twins street port) sits for a few days and then i start it it revs up to 3k and idles there. if i give it a little gas it goes down slowly. is this bad?normal? It runs fine after that so i dont know if its bad. Also on the street properly warmed up my car idles slightly under 500 rpms. is that ok?bad for the engine?



thanks guys

500 sounds a little low, but everything else sounds ok.



If you don't like the AWS action (3000 rpm), start with the transmission in first (and the clutch in of course), or do what you said you already do (blip the throttle).

halfway from 0-1000rpm is a line for 750rpm, the big line is the line for 500



and that 3krpm thing is normal

yeh does the same for me... its normal.. just the car telling u to leave it alone! (j/k) also if it sputters badly while driving, you need gas BADLY! (happened to me today)

I have seen them idle a little slow like that after the AWS it turned off, but when its warm, the idle is fine correct? Usually are..

papasmurf

i dunno but mine varies unaffected by warmth.. i know upon a hot startup the car wont rev to 3k though.

actually after the 3000k thing..... my rpm hangs at 1100-1200k. but after the car warms up, it idle's perfectly. not something im too worried about. one thing that worries me at startup though is that my car smokes like i broke my turbo.... but i guess its not my turbos since there is a hole in my crosspipe and there's no oil coming out of it

When does it smoke? After warming up or on start up?

JT-Imports

Any port job?



On start-up no biggie. While running is NO biggie with a Port job since they most likely opened up the oil injector ports a little.



If it smokes when you get on it-----Turbo



Y-pipe can effect the idle/boost/vaccum and thats about all I can think about since its dinner time hehe

FikseRxSeven

for the first 5 mins of startup...... then after that im good



and no..... no port jobs
