Texas Tech Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Would it be bad if i changed my idle RPMs to around 1500, right now its around 800-900? Quote Baylor University Accounting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1992Chevy K1500 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Well several thing will happen, not the least of which your brakes likely won't be able to hold the car back (meaning no stopping ever again). Don't do it, 1K is as high as I'd ever go on any vehicle.

treossi Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) depends on the vehicle... if its say 96 or newer (obd2) worst idea ever... forget that you even thought about this idea oh yeah and everytime you put it into gear... it would jump... adding premature wear on all kinds of vital components.... very bad horrible idea... just put your foot on the gas when you need some extra amperage Edited October 11, 2009 by treossi Quote Team sundownWESTCOASTSPL.COM we're throwing dbdrag events very soon visit the website for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Tech Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 well, my car idles around 1,300 for the first 2 minutes after i start my car...? Quote Baylor University Accounting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Tech Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 well, the only reason i asked is because my car idles sometimes at 800-900 RPMs, sometimes (after it has been running for a while) 300-400 RPMs, and sometimes after ive been driving for 10 minutes or so it will idle at either zero or 100 RPMs. I dont really know what the cause of it is and I was wondering what would happen if i changed the idle RPM Quote Baylor University Accounting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
