saba Member 54 Member For: 16y 13d Posted 24/07/12 10:06 AM Share Posted 24/07/12 10:06 AM guysWhat's everyone's fg ute's idle at? When I bought mine back in 2009 it was idling at just over 750rpm and now it's idling just over 500rpm. Is this normal? I've got that stupid common rattle on idle that ford don't know how to fix apparently, could it be related to the idle being so low? 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81107-fg-idling/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

They told me there was a update that dropped the idle to the 550rpm + or- 50rpm fuel and emission reasons.
