1.8 Idle speed

[cpt slow]

Is my idle speed to low I ask myself , can it be adjusted to idle slightly higher as it sounds a bit strange . On the rev counter it sits on idle just above 500, its allways done this but now just doesnt seem right . Can it be adjusted to idle higher ? Is this controlled from the ECU ?

no one ? where are all the 1.8 owners !

Not a 1.8 owner but would say it's a bit low,their normally up around 750/800

Think it can be changed but guess it would a special tool job.....

don't tell me the stig drives a vectra!

Can anyone please tell me if the idle can be adjusted to a higher RPM , is this Vauxhall only job ?

[wrightgj]

you could try giving your local Vx dealer a call if you aren't getting much luck here...

Looks like I will have to tomorrow . I know there are a few 1.8 owners here , but obviously are not online or keeping it a secret ! Cheers.

Im sure its a vx job mate, mine ran @550rpm and they turned it up to 650rpm, gave the tech a tenner, not worth booking in ,just popped down .2 min job.

Patience is a virtue ... Someone will answer you question, might take more than a few hours though mate ...
