What RPM should my Nissan Altima idle at?
A friend of mine just had to bring her car to the mechanic to fix some issues with her car’s throttle and it started with her car’s RPM gauge acting strangely. I’m curious about my own car since I’ve never paid much attention to my RPM. What RPM should my Nissan Altima idle at?

RPM stands for revolutions per minute and it pertains to the speed that your motor is turning over. Contrary to popular belief, RPM does not correlate directly to a car’s speed so it can be difficult to determine appropriate RPM based on how fast or slow a vehicle moves.
However, it is considered normal for a
Nissan Altima
to idle between 700 and 750 RPM. Anything above or below could indicate a reason to bring your car to a mechanic.If you discover that there is an issue with your vehicle but you’re worried about paying for repairs, check out the
