I was just in hawaii with my family. When we started her up it would sometimes rev up to like 3500rpms and sit there for a while before going down to the 700 or whatever she idled at..anyone know what the purpose of that is? i wouldn't think it was something wrong, since it was an '06, and only did it sometimes.

Re: High idle
wow. a big chunk of that got lost somehow. I know i typed it out... sorry guys. I rented a '06 Dodge Magnum. I was just wondering what the purpose of the inconsistant idle at around 3500rpms was. wow..i feel stupid...don't know what happened thereComment

Re: High idle
maybe the engines getting choked. were you pressing the gas a little bit when you were cranking on accident? either that or the computer was choking it.2000 3.8L Camaro A4 Pewter Y87<br />K&N Filter, SLP Ram Air kit, Eibach Pro Kit, Flowmaster 80 series, Silverstars, NGK plugs and MSD Super Conductor Wires, Electric Water PumpComment

Re: High idle
pretty sure there is no choke with fuel injection... maybe its just to get the oil up to the valves or something, idkComment

Re: High idle
no you can choke. its all electronic. one day i was bored and was reading thru my owners manual and iirc it did say something about that. on any cold engine it takes a little more juice to get it started. FI engines arent any special exception. its just the car does it for you so you dont think about it.2000 3.8L Camaro A4 Pewter Y87<br />K&N Filter, SLP Ram Air kit, Eibach Pro Kit, Flowmaster 80 series, Silverstars, NGK plugs and MSD Super Conductor Wires, Electric Water PumpComment

I am happy to announce that I have sold the site to Robert (FirebirdGT). Years ago this site went down when TealV6 had it, I bought it, refreshed it,...4 days ago -
Went ahead and moved my starter wire from the back, to the front again since it had no effect on my drain on the battery. Also made me nervous driving...2 weeks ago -
Building the Tom Henry RS
Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff.
By: Hib Halverson
At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...02-07-2020, 10:30 PM
