Legacy Idle speed?

[b18b_turbo]

WHen you just start the car from the temp being the lowest....wha is your idle speed like?

[EYEandEYE]

b18b_turbo,well my idle speed is about jus over 1000rpm. wonder if thats normal. is it? how does ECONOMY work for you guys?

[Ragnarok]

1500rpm

[b18b_turbo]

if i start from cold, i get about 1500 to 2000. it seems quite high.....but i dont know if it is some mechanism to heat up the engine block?

eyeandeye, economy works very well. significant decrease in fuel consumption once you drive VERY passively and ensure that the 'eco' light stays on all the time.

where to find eco button?

Near the shifter..

most cars have it...

on mornings and when cold it would raise to 1500 rpm to warm up and then slowly drop down and the temperature rises

b18b_turbo,copper_shot,where could I get a diagnostic done?

[b18b_turbo]

EYEandEYE, i did one at master serv recently, they were quite good.

[nismoid]

on manual cars its near your left knee on the dash

[b18b_turbo]

checked the 04 service manual.
Idle speed supposed to be @ 650 rpm.

that is after the motor reaches operating temp, not on initial startup.

[b18b_turbo]

^^

initial startup is what asked. but thanks

My idle on the STI is about 1500 when cold then drops to 500-600 when warmed up

[b18b_turbo]

we not talking about 2.5L USDM here Mr. J Deen....

[shinakuma]

On most Subaru ecu there iz a water temp vs rpm map and when cold u should b @ 1500-2000rpm. When water temp goes to 60 deg the idle drops to 650-700rpm. I can read ur ecu and change the idle rpm map and i also like 2 bring in d fans a little earlier especially for d heavy foot drivers. Call 681-1817 for more info.

900rpm is my speeed
