What is 60kmh in normal talk? 35 or 40 mph or so. I know 40k=25mph.
If I'm right, 1500 is fine cruising rpm at that speed

it should not idle at 800rpms unless its frigid cold outside. the stock setting is 650rpms IIRC, i'll double check that when i get home. you have a 3400 right?

Ok you morons, learn kms. don't be so close minded and teach yourself something.
well i noticed that when i coast down my street, im going a lot faster then i did last week, so i don't know what's going on. and when im driving it sounds different. i'm gonna see what the weekends brings me and if it's still acting weird i'll take it into the dealership Monday...i just am not liking what I'm hearing when it's driving and idling...

The RPMS are dead on, that's exactly what mine does and it's a 3400. I wouldn't take it to a dealership, one thing I have found with mine is if you don't put in fuel injector cleaner once every 6 months otherwise with all the moisture and climate changes you get gunk built up in it. I know when it gets really cold and I accelerate a bit harder it sounds like there's a hole in my muffler pipe.
I'd just throw fuel injector cleaner in it. If you have issues with a rough idle get some condensation remover and throw that in your tank too. Just make sure the tank is full or close to full when you do it. |

miles to kms:
multiply miles by ~1.6
