[302RWP]

what do your guys' mustangs idle at? mine stays at around 800-900, just curious to see what is normal

 

[12sec67]

idle in nuetral is 1050 in gear 950rpms

 

[Great68]

Just over 1000 in neutral, and 800-900 in gear.

Any less idle speed in gear, and the engine will stall when I press the brakes and use the power steering at the same time (Making it suck to drive in parking lots).

 

[mustang70]

About 1000rpm out of gear and 750-800 in gear.

650-700 (manual transmission)
