New Mod, High Idle?

wahl55 · Jan 1, 2005

Hey, I just added a MAC CAI (fenderwell) and a 70mm throttle body to my 02 GT. I noticed that it idles relatively high (1000RPM) for a few seconds then goes back down to a normal idle for a few more seconds. BUT messing around w/ the problem to see what's going on, I found out that it idles as normal as always when the A/C is off. Is this normal?

Thanks!

mine always starts that high (900 rpm)and drop's to around 550.
could be wrong but sounds normal

The car starts off at a higher rpm to warm up, seconds pass and back to the normal rpm idle.

You are right in what you said, but I think he means it idles high for a few seconds warmed up or not. Mine does the same thing after I installed the C&L Plenum, 75mm TB, and Steeda CAI. When I pull up to a stop sign, the idle stays elavated to about 850 RPM the drops to 600 RPM in 2-3 seconds. It doesn't bother me and I can see or feel no adverse effects from it. It is probably normal.

Thanks. I figured it was a normal thing with the new mods. Had to get a concensus though
