Lexus Idal

[Ben_Pattinson]

hi, got a 2001 lexus is200 automatic and when the engine is warm the car idals at the first notch (500rpm) im just wondering if thats slightly too low as it sounds like if it goes any lower it will stall. Also when i set off its very snatchy when i press the accelerater, just wondering if thats because i dont have enough revs t start with? cud u please check you cars and see EXACLTY where the needle is, or even take a photo,ill take a photo of mine later.

thanks

Mine is a manual 2002 IS200 sport and it idles around the 750rpm, but from a cold start it's around 1200rpm, then comes down fairly quickly.

I have an auto too I think tickover is about the 750 rpm but will check for you tomorrow

As for when you push the accelerator they do seem to take off pretty sharpish
