Question
I have a 1995 oldsmobile aurora that runs great, but idles low in drive at 500rpm. In park it idles around 900. What can i do to get my car to idle around 1000rpm.
Vincent,
I'm a parts specialist, NOT a tech but I have done some checking with people I sell parts to that are Techs. The general consensus is the idle speed is computer controlled through the PCM and is not adjustable. What is wrong with 500 and 900?? It sounds fine to all of us. You might contact Hyper Tech or SuperChips to see if they can burn a custom chip for you.(not sure of the web sites, sorry).

Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip
