Guys,
Just curious what your Terminator idles at after warm up with accessories off or on (list them, such as A/C, lights, radio, etc)...not sure if it's called closed or open loop?

I feel mine idles high lately (gas mileage sucks), and it used to idle around 850rpms, I thought...

Mine idles around 1k with all accessorys off. Once I click the AC on it drops down to 850 and stays around that.

Normally what ever I set it at.

Lately however it's been around 1k to 1100, but considering the fan and a/c are continuously blasting away lately I have just left it in the interest of allowing the charging to keep up.

I never had an issue with the 3.2 metco alt pulley and staying charged up before but it has never been this hot for so long either.

I may just unhook the battery to start the PCM learning strategy over again.

With A/C on....about 870, A/C off 970.

I would like to get it a tad lower but the Brisk plugs do not like anything lower than what its at.
