What is the normal RPM's cold idle and warm ?
Cold idle now at 1500.
I think I'm going to like this vehicle but have much to learn. I have just
about mastered the MGB and WV Golf/Rabbit, and 89 K5 Blazer......
Thanks in
advance

Cold idle at 1500 sounds a lil high, but how cold is cold? I only had
high rpms when cold (in FLorida) after using an off brand fuel. Are u
using ethanol"ed" fuel?

Idle when hot should be around 750 +/- 50

Hi:

Tried it this morning: (2 degrees celsius).

1500 for about 3 minutes
1000 for another 3 minutes
Then I got bored and drove away..

The tachometer in my 2002 Legacy *seems* to be out of scale between 0 and
100, with two lines only, one thicker than the other. My car seems to idle
at about 750, sometimes dipping down, sometimes bumping up a bit. The idle,
for me, is a bit lumpy, bordering on rough, but (after many recent repairs),
it doesn't stall, (although, again, given my recent experience, I am always
afraid it might... )
