Hello everyone, I just bought a 2014 Camaro recently and I noticed the rpm's are fluctuating at idle. it's barely moving but I feel like the needle should be completely still?

I have a video here

anyone have any ideas on what it might be?

thanks !

tatsandcats · 01-31-2019, 08:20 PM

yup.. it's what us V6 owners have to put up with

My SS does that if I idle for a long time

lionssfan · 01-31-2019, 08:56 PM

the video doesn't work, but my v8 varies some.

Normal.

I've worked for GM 34 years as a mechanic.... not bragging. but your fuctuating rpm is totally normal trust me!

Don't press the white arrow in the middle, and your rpms do not move.

My 2013's RPM varies more than that. Not by a lot but it's always done it since I've had her since new

Thanks for the input everybody! I'm not too knowledgable on these kinds of things, so I really appreciate it. Hope everybody has a good weekend, and enjoy your camaros!

As the others have said, totally normal. I don't think I've ever had a car that DIDN'T fluctuate a little.

No engine will be competely still. As long as the rpms are not bouncing around, a tiny little variation is completely normal.
