Nico Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Hey all, Does anyone know what the recommended rev count should be when starting up the zed from cold and when it is idle? I noticed that in the mornings when I start her up for the day that the rev count sits around 1100 revs and will the settle around 900 - 1000 after I've driven 3-5 mins and hit the first set of lights. is this normal/expected? Should I be looking at cleaning the throttle maybe? Thanks in advance for any advice given Nico. Quote
Mikesding Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Is that with or without air conditioning on? (Raises idle by about 150-200 iirc) Quote
Mikesding Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 I'm not too sure what mine idles at on a cold start - but when its warmed up with AC off it idles at around 750. I'll have a look when I head home for you Quote
Keyser Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 I think we have a cold start rev setting of 1200 rpm this should then drop back to standard tick over 650 IIRC after a short time. The standard tick over is slow by most standards and they normally bump it on an UPREV if you have a Vortech like me it gets bumped a lot as the V2 sounds like a washing machine full of stones below 800rpm Aircon boosts it as well Quote
cs2000 Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) Technical evidence of initial cold start (Car hasn't been started since sunday) Click Me to see video And after a 15 min drive (warmed up idle) Click Me to see video Edited May 24, 2013 by cs2000 Quote

Nico Posted May 29, 2013 Author Posted May 29, 2013 decided to start her up and let her sit in the drive this time. again, hovers around 1100 for the first 3-4 mins then ticks down to around 900 after another 3-4 mins. took her for a quick 5 min lap and then parked her with the engine still on and it now sets at around 700 which I hear is the norm Quote
