High Idle Question - New Owner

[BeBeep]

I have put 60 miles on my Viper and I have noticed that no matter how long I drive, the idle at stop lights, etc never drops below 1000 rpm's. Is this normal for the V-10? Seems high to me but since I have never owned a Viper, it may be normal.

Thank You

Nope, should be at 600 or 700

The stock idle is 700.

It idles at 1000 for the first 750-1000 miles, I can't remember which.

After 1000 it goes down to normal idle

My car did the same thing til around 800 miles or so. Now it idles 700-800 rpm so I agree with the above statements.

The car idles high for the first 1000 miles. They had to do that because of how tight the rings are. That's right from dick winkles himself.

Thank you all for the replies. I feel better knowing this normal.

I have 225 miles and idle is also 1000.

I have 1000 kms (600) miles. Still at 1000 RPM

Normal. You'll be sad once it idles down, the idle note gets much quieter, too. Haha

May be the excuse I need to buy some Corsa's. LOL

Gonna check mine..I have 1500 miles.

Drove mine today. I started out at 997 kms/ 1000 RPM. Drove it about 50Kms/idle about 850 RPM now

When the idle drops under 1000 & you want to experience it again (for a little while) add the arrow PCM...:orange:
