Whats everyone idleing at cold ?

[RobEVo5]

My car likes to idle at nearly 2K when stone cold then drops as the water temp increased to about 700rpm.

Is this normal ?

I have a loud exhaust, and to be honest, annoys the hell out of me every morning until the car is up to temp, and don\'t think its impressing the neighbours much either. Is there any way of lowering the idle at cold ?

Do RX7 Gen3 have adjustable ISCV\'s  (idle speed control Valve) ?. If so where, as thinking I might be able to adjust this cold idle using this and then change the idle speed for warm on the Apexi Handcontroller.

Are you still on the standard engine, with twin turbo\'s? If so, sounds pretty normal. mine idles at about 1800 when cold, and should eventually drop down to about 1100rpm (It\'s ported) but still having a bit if difficulty getting the idle to drop and stabilize

Yep standard engine, and non-sequential turbo\'s. My idle drops to 700rpm and sits comfortably.

I think the exhaust is making me think its worse than it is.

My car wouldn\'t idle nice at low revs with a lean air fuel. Don\'t know if you have a Apexi, but if you do and you have a wideband. You might want to see what your AFR is at idle. - Just a suggestion.

No, don\'t have a wideband - but my tuner does. Will be getting it on soon.

Mine starts at 1500 when cold and drops to 750 when warm - pretty standard setup.

Starts at 1400,then goes up 1800.........:Thumbsup!

My FD starts up and then later on, on a road not far away, I sit in 3rd at 5000rpm and I know the T51 is fully spooled. BANG supersonic. I just love my rex.:WaveBye

It\'s just a warm up procedure dude, most turbo cars do it.  Start her up let her idle at 2000K (like mines does) and after a minute or so she\'ll drop down to 1200K or so then down to about 750 when she\'s fully warmed up.

It\'s only when you\'ve been driving her for 15-20 minutes and she\'s at operating temperature that she\'s the smoothest and fastest

Think maybe if you blip the throttle it will drop to 700 after,Not to much mind as it will be cold

Mazda made the car do this for a reason, its to get the oil temp up as quickly as possible......Go buy q Fiesta if you dont like the exhaust

Mine idles at 1203 when cold and 800 when warmed up hope thats sounds alright. lol.
