Minimum engine idling rpm setting

[jupe]

Hello po.

Just need to ask: What should be the rpm setting for engine idling for the 2013 Jazz 1.5 V A/T?

Mine is around 700 rpm (based on the reading on my console).

Can this be still lowered, for better fuel savings?

Will appreciate your inputs.

TIA.

Nope, and it's not recommended.

First of all, idle is controlled by the ECU so there's no straightforward way for you to change this. But even if you can, lowering it further could impede oil pump and alternator efficiency at idle.

In other words, don't mess with it. ;)

around 700 to 900 rpm is normal.

The "idling" po kasi seems high.

The force it packs up is rather strong on either D or R.

I used to adjust the "idling" on my previous car—a manual.

I was hoping I could tinker with it also, to suit my need.

Is the "idling" in the 2013 Jazz 1.5 V A/T really controlled by ECU?

I thought only those CVT models have computer-controlled gas feed.

Thanks po for the responses.

Your idle speed is normal. On a Civic 1.8S, it's 750 +/- 50 RPM.

When shifting to any of the forward or reverse gears, the best practice is to have your foot on the brake pedal for safety.

Many cars since about the 90's has started incorporating an ECU and starting around the early to mid 2000, cabled throttle actuators have been replaced by "drive-by-wire", which is an electronic servo-controlled throttle valve. This means that the ECU sits between the accelerator-throttle loop, and has full control of the throttle. There are no more 'screws' to turn to change the idle speed.
