vr6 idle??

A&Q about 350Z
Q:

not to sure think i might have a problem with the idle on my car sounds ok when running but you can feel it when sitting at stand still, the only way i can explane it is its buddleing, and it idles at 500 rpm but doesnt bounce around ?
A:

VR6's idle lumpy :) mine does it, is normal as far as i've been told, gives the car a slight shake/judder
A:

i really don`t think a poor idle was how VW sent the cars from the factory ?
My VR idles perfectly so I must have one of the good ones then ?
TBH the only time it did idle poor was when coilpack needed to be replaced.
A:

Mine idles sweet as a nut, smoothest idling car I've ever had!
Probably won't be like that after i've stuck the Schrick 268's in tho
A:

Mine sits at 800 and smooth as
A:

do you think i should get it tuned theres a local guy how has a nobile tunning business i know peeps that have had it done b4 and he sound quite good
A:

You cant really tune a VR6. The ECU does everything. There must be a faulty component.
Is it an early spec car or late spec? If early dizzy or coilpack?
Even the distributor models have fixed distributors.
A:

Its On An L Plate So 93-94 Think I Havent Got The Log Book Yet
A:

its not a really rough idle, just a slight burble/lump, its a V6 :)
A:

iv had v6s b4 you right it is like thst but just thoght it was a bit low a 500 rpm
A:

500rpm is low, should be 800-900
A:

i dont know where to start really, dont know if im loosing power as well its fast dont get me wrong but iv never had one b4 so i havent got anything to compare
A:

air leaks in the exahaust, inlet
dirty throttle body.
sort those, and it'll idle smoother, as pointed out, 500 is too low.
A:

Mine was absolutely smooth as.
An incredible thing. Very, very hard to tell if there was a cylinder or even two not firing. With four plug leads off it would still run pretty well. as I say, quite incredible. Wasn't until it was down to one plug lead that it was reallt getting into touble!
If you have all six plug leads attached to a standard VR6 and it's not creamy smooth then its not right
