(1) 650-800rpm depending on transmission
(2) No...idle is controlled via the PCM and IAC motor (you can try to adjust
the throttle stop but the PCM will compensate). There is a way by modifying
the IAC motor (or using a dummy), but that's definitely not the correct way
at all and somewhat "redneck-ish". ;)

Subject: DML: Look ma no fans! ( And, Whats normal idle range for 92 magnum
V8s? )
Hi all,
fyi. I have been running the past 4 days to/from work with no fan at all.
Its been
sort of scary but worth it. Temps here in San Diego have been very mild.
Highs in 70s
but when I got to work at 7am its only 61 deg. And when I come home its 65
deg. The
temp gauge sometimes gets to mid span but it has not yet once over-heated.
;-)
Yes, i do plan on installing a fan system but I am making a custom setup. I
just ordered
two 12" fans from SPAL and I will be custom fabing a bracket system and
perhaps a shroud
if necessary. I have the downloaded the mechanical drawings (.PDF file) for
the fans and
already working on the bracket design. My radiator is stock and so I
thought I would
take advantage of the 2 tabs (indents) that are located on each of the sides
of radiator.
Each tab has a tiny 1/8" hole that I will open up and thread for 8-32
screw. These will
be my radiator mount points for the fan bracket. So the fan bracket will
run
horizontally across the radiator. it will look like an "H" lay on its side.
( i guess
that makes it an "I" huh. Duh! ) Anyways. Hope to give ya some more
updates on this
project in the next few days.
Anyway. What I wanted to ask is:
1. Does anyone know what the normal idle range is for 1992 Magnum 5.2L V8s?
I tried to
look it up in all my reference books but could not find it anywhere.
2. If I have a stock PCM is there a way to set the IDLE SPEED? Can I use a
regular scan
tool to do this? Or is it a special scan tool.
Thanks in advance.
