RPM's
What are the normal RPM's at idle for 3.1 V6 cars? How about at 70mph?

Re: RPM's
IIRC, the idle speed should be listed on the sticker on the underside of the hood. Theres really no adjustments you can do, other than the min air adjustment.

Re: RPM's
Thanks. I think my trans might be on the way out in addition to that. When I started the car (cold) and drove it without warming it up, the rpm's went up to about 3500 and held there until I let off the gas and got back on gently. Then getting on the expressway the rpm's got near 4000 and I was only at 55 mph. Usually while I'm cruising at 70mph the rpm's will stay around 2700. Is this too high?
