Jas16 0 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Oh and don't get too worried if the tickover is relatively high when you first start the car and for the warming up period. During this time, using the fan will also increase the tickover too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Konrad C 947 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 My 1.8 7A-FE idles as low 650rpm with nothing extra running, aircon raises the idle to 800 to 1000rpm, very cold start up to 2000rpm. It settles down quickly if driven straight away instead of left standing.The idle varies with what accessories are running. The heater and lights will raise the idle slightly.There is a compensation device which adjusts the engine speed against the load. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
meloned 1 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 Many thanks for your replies the reason for me asking was that I sprayed the throttle housing with Wynns carb/injector cleaner and it seems to be idling a little bit faster at the moment (950 rpm) hopefully it will settle down cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
'98 GS TD 2 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Is this the same with Mk 1 diesels? Idling on TD seems to increase quite a lot whenthe fan is on...My 1.8 7A-FE idles as low 650rpm with nothing extra running, aircon raises the idle to 800 to 1000rpm, very cold start up to 2000rpm.

fractureman 4 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 My 7A-FE is about 800rpm when warmed up, is about 1200-1600 before warmed up ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
