Enging Idle

[Nath V]

Could be a popular question but does anyone have any info on what a 3rd Gen 7 should be idling at?

As much info as poss would be really helpful.

Thanks

im sure some others will be more acurate but i think about 850rpm

Nath, the workshop manual says from 700-750 rpm.

Are there any common faults that cause them to rev high???

Leaking inlet manifold gaskets tend to cause this problem.

Get yourself a length of hose, start the engine, put one end of the hose to your ear, and move the other around the engine bay, mainly around the turbos and inlet manifolds.
