750 @ 160 degrees farenheit.

Car sounds like it has some problems.

I know mine is starting up at 30 degrees and I wait until 120 before I start to move.

It could be that, but this used to happen even with the auto tranny, so i think it could be something else. any way to adjust the idle point?

the 240 should idle at 1000rpm when its cold, and 750rpm when warm...straight out of the service manuel that nissan uses
