another new guy
High all. I just got back from Menphis after picking up my new 1992 LT1 with a 4 spd auto. It has 87000 on the clock but only 25000 on a new motor and trans. One thing I find odd is that when you let your foot off the brake the car runs up to 10mph by itself. The idle is at about 700rpm, is that normal for a C4 ?

Welcome. On mine it's normal. I think at idle the engine produces about 5 hp.

My 87 will do the same. Idle was set by Gordon Killebrew at one of his classes so it should be right.
