Coolwazabi Posted March 27, 2007 Report Posted March 27, 2007 if i messed with the idle would it ruin my air/fuel ratio ? Quote
civichatch Posted March 27, 2007 Report Posted March 27, 2007 (edited) I dont know FORSHORE. But im pretty sure it doesnt play with the overall air/fuel mixture. I have played with my idle on my car and it hasnt effected any other part of the car. It just raises/lowers your RPM at idle.

str86diesel Posted March 28, 2007 Report Posted March 28, 2007 no, it will not affect the A/F ratio. It's just a timing thing as to how fast the engine will spin when not in gear. Usually for racing you jack the idle way up for better take offs. Quote 2k6 Dodge Ram 2500...CUMMINS POWERED - SOLD
Coolwazabi Posted April 23, 2007 Author Report Posted April 23, 2007 whats the standard idle for a 425 ? when warm i was thinkin maybe 1000 at park... Quote
str86diesel Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 between 700 and 800 Quote 2k6 Dodge Ram 2500...CUMMINS POWERED - SOLD
Coolwazabi Posted April 23, 2007 Author Report Posted April 23, 2007 well its currently set around lower 500's... and is there any tool i can use to temp check rpms ? Quote
str86diesel Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 unless you have a tach, the easiest way is to compare the sound with another vehicle..preferably a fuel injected motor. But low 500's is way low. which will result in the motor having a hard time staying lit in cold weather. Quote 2k6 Dodge Ram 2500...CUMMINS POWERED - SOLD
