m30 idles at 1000 rpm

[clementine]

just wondering if its normal for the motor to idle at that rpm.
help is appreciated

It's not. You might have a vacuum leak, inspect your various boots and rubber things for cracks.

^ check what Kronus said first. If you have 100% confirmed no vacuum leaks, check your ICV.

will do thanks guys.

Smoke test it. You may not necessarily see a crack that could cause a vac leak.

Make sure your TPS is adjusted correctly, usually an m30 should be around 750 +/- on idle.

i think i found the problem.
since i swapped the motor into a 318 i must change my decoding plug on the cluster, so by changing it, it should now show the proper idle,
so pretty much i was fooled by my own car
lol
thanks for all the help i might need it in the future
