    Hey everyone,

    I was wondering what the normal idle range should be when our cars are warm on a 3.8 S/C. My has a wondering idle from 900-1100 when parked and sitting still. You can hear the exhaust changing notes and the idle is a little rough when it is floating from 900-1100 but im guessing it should be still. Any ideas would help.

    Thanks,
    Brad

    Mine is like that until it warms up to op tmp. then drops to like 800-900, 700-800 in drive. Although, colder climates may affect this, i imagine its running fine

    its should be around 700-800 atfer warm.

    sounds like you may have a vacuum leak and maybe you should clean your maf sensor.
