Can someone explain to me the logic behind the idle speed?... (N/A Jap '92)

 

On cold mornings before the engine warms up there seems to be different idle speeds... circa 2000rpm, then down to something around 1500rpm, eventually settling out around 900rpm once warm... On warm days, or on returning to a still warm engine, the idle speed is around 900rpm...

 

Anyone of the resident experts care to explain whats supposed to be happening?? :)

 

Thanks in advance

Dave

Clarkey wants some beer tokens :rofl:

not a bad idea :p

Cheers for the offer but it appears I have all the appropriate tools so I'd like to have a go myself. But maybe if I F things up I'll be in touch! Where abouts do you live anyway?

codsall

Ah not far from me at all then. My mate said he saw a zed in codsall but I'm pretty sure he said it was either red or black.

there are 2 others in codsall, cainy's which is grey and currently for sale, and a guy who has a black one which is horrible.

I think its the black one then. My mate did mention it was horrible. But he also said last time he saw it it was in a 'transitional' state.

last time I saw it, it had unpainted viper wings on and mismatching wheels. Apparently it has scissor door hinges too.

So clarkey you've been a member on here for 5 years. How long you had a zed then? were you not 15 in 2001?

yes, my dad bought the zed way back then, i was intrigued by it and found this place, the rest is history. Been nearly a year now since he passed away, I took on ownership of the zed after that. Maybe i'll be able to get behind the wheel of the thing one of these days lol.

Oh right so you havent been driving since you were 15 then! Sounds like you know a lot about it though. Sorry to hear about your dad. Sure you'll have a great time in the zed soon then. You driving at the moment?

no, more than is healthy, thanks, maybe, and no ;)
