1998 SSE ralenti RPM

Post by leloncio »

Guys, just a question

My car: Bonneville 1997 SSE (Not supercharged)

I read between 950-1000 RPMs, raletei.

Temp is normal (Not cold).

Is this value normal?


Thanks

That seems high for warmed up. It should be around 800 in park and 650 in drive.

Thanks.

After fixing a leak in the muffler, the O2 sensor (i think) started to work with good values and the RPM droped to 850 RPM
