#407288 - 18/07/03 05:02 AM Increased idle RPM after Gibson Install
Solar Member Registered: 13/08/02 Posts: 297 Loc: Massachusetts	Gentlemen (& ladies ofcourse) Last night I installed my new Gibson cat back exhaust and also my home made air intake system with a K&N and custom made polished aluminum tube. Anyway, this morning while driving to work I realized that my idle Rpm is around 1300 now. Is this normal due to the engine having to struggle less to take in air and get rid of it ? If so how do I bring the idle back to 700 ? Let me know please. Thanks _________________________ The reason why a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail not his tongue!

Let me know if it works out... _________________________ XOC Everything you need, if you don't mind the b.s. West Ham UFC -- Come On You Irons!!! www.myspace.com/kraigslist Kraig

Solar Member Registered: 13/08/02 Posts: 297 Loc: Massachusetts	Silly me ! I did in fact disconnect the battery for 24 hours but after doing that I remembered some other tinkersing that I had done. Well it turned out that when I was messing around with the cruise control cable I kinda made it too tight. Doing that prevented the throttle position to fully return .... Daaaaaaa So anyway, I loosened the cruise control cable and she purs right around 700 Rpm like she should. Thanks for the advise guys. _________________________ The reason why a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail not his tongue!
