idle

i use my 94 metro 1.0 5 sp for paper routes, me and my wife drive it for about 4 hours every morning, with much of it idleing while we are delivering them, it idles normal after starting it but I think when It needs to run the fan to keep it cool it revs up a bit, is this normal or is something wrong, I checked the code fuse and got a 12 i think, it idles high enough so it seems to make it more difficult to put it in reverse if that makes sense, it idles high for about 10 seconds and then lowers a bit and then back to high idle, is it just keeping it self cool or is this fixable, how to you adjust the idle, thank you

btt, thanks

When something draws power from the alternator, the engine can idle up to compensate for the added drag. I know that if my 98 1.0 is sitting at an idle, and I turn on my headlights, I can hear the difference in engine rpm as the car compensates for the added draw on the charging system . Could be that your fan is drawing enough power to cause the engine to idle up. As long as the engine idles and the car responds normally to accellerator input, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

thanks
