Sign In On my 1998 Ford Taurus se station wagon with 129000 miles and a misfiring no. 1 cylinder my RPM gauge reads about 750 at warm idle (about 1100 at start up cold idle) and about a tad over 2000 when driving around town at between 45-50 mph. Are those the correct RPM's for those levels? If not what should they be? Jeff Norfolk Enthusiast Oct 21, 2009, 8:01 AM Post #2 of 3 (1213 views) Re: What should the RPM's be? Sign In Ya that seems about right. 2000 may be a bit high but not bad. Fix the miss fire and all should be well. Jeff indy4192 User Oct 21, 2009, 8:31 AM Post #3 of 3 (1209 views) Re: What should the RPM's be? Sign In The misfire is basically unfixable at a reasonable price. I only paid $450 for the car and they are telling me it will be over $1000 to try and fix it and then there is no guarentee. I have low compression a burnt exhaust valve and such. I plan on just driving the car till it dies or the cat converter clogs up. Just wondered if the RPM's were where they should be.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
