    today went for a stroll with my 355F1,

    and after a while walking with her, I stopped at the shop of a friend, and when I walk through the car again, he is stopped swinging the engine turning, is to 500rpm, and that's not normal, because the car gets 900rpm and sometimes you get the 1.000rpm.

    the temperature of the engine was so far was good.

    please help me ... thanks

    Are you trying to say that after a short drive in the car the revs at tick over drop to 500rpm instead of the 900 rpm it usually sits at?

    I think he said that when he restarted the engine when warm, the RPM's stayed at 500 instead of the normal 900.

    First try the idle relearn cycle. Turn off the battery for 30 seconds. Then key the car on, and turn off all ancilary power consumption, radio, A/C, heaters, fan,... Now start the car and without touching the throttle, brakes, or anything, let it idle for 10 minutes AFTER the water temp has gotten high enough to cycle the fans.

    first, excuse my English, I am Brazilian and I do not speak English, I'm using Google Translate.

    I turned on the hot car, he was 500rpm. After a while he returned 900rpm, then I stopped at the traffic lights, he came back to 500rpm.
    The car is presenting a problem in A / C, was changed the temperature sensor this week and still not solved the problem.

    Not sure I understand problem but perhaps issue is dropping idle with A/C?


    check connections to A/C system
    check charge on A/C system

    Idle goes up when A/C comes on. This failes when contacts are bad and compressor does not come on or when A/C system is low on freon.

    I ride with the car for 20 minutes, stopped at the shop of a friend, turned off the car. After 5 minutes, I had to park the car in another place, but at the same store as I started the car, he was 500rpm, I put the reverse and continued the same. After about 30 minutes I started the car to leave, stayed at 900rpm, normal. I went to lunch, and stopped in a forbidden when I was told by the parking place, I park the car again, started the car and went to 500rpm.
    I left the restaurant at 500rpm, as he was walking improved and returned to 900rpm, when I got home, I stopped the car in the garage, he went back to 500rpm.
