Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Can someone explain to me RPM at Idle and why it changes …

Hey guys,

So I’ve always wondered about this, and I’m not sure I’m asking google and searching the right question…

My question is - Why does RPM change at idle. Let me expand on that.

So I get why AC affects RPM - You’ll have a much lower RPM with no AC than with AC.

But for instance, I live in FL - it seems that weather affects the RPM range at idle as well?

Some days at idle, with AC on - I’m between 800-837 and other days I’m 865-880 (something like that)

Why is this?

Why I ask - is because it makes quite a different in idle volume in the cab

Thanks.
