My 2012 KK is idling around 500 rpm.

1. How would I increase the idle? My last vehicle had a wire with a nut i could just tighten...

2. What could be causing low idle?


TIA

That's where the 3.7 idles. Maybe the hyper tech tuner can change it on 08-10s, but honestly I doubt it. We have a drive by wire, can't really just tighten a cable.

Why do you want it to idle higher? Generally higher idles are for race cars or worked motors that load up when idling.

eh, it feels like it is going to choke itself out. I watch the tach needle and it seems to dip a little.

Maybe I'm just imagining things.

About average on idle speed of course also depends on when plugs were changed last, and things like that as well. 3.7s are not a smooth idling engine to begin with though
