Wassup everybody…

When it comes to life I tend to be a great listener especially when it comes to my elders. An elder I was passing in the auto zone parking lot complimented my Tahoe but also informed me that it sounds to be idling to high. Is there a way for me to remedy this myself or should I take it to my mechanic?

What rpm? 600 to 700 is normal for a warm engine. I'm a ''senior'' and a lot of old coots do not know jack, but they think they do.

FIRST find out if yours is really idling too high, like get the facts !

I'm not sure but when I leave out I'll take a pic and send it to you if you don't mind?

Hey Cusser this is what the RPM is reading on my Tahoe

Cusser

Yep, that's too high.

Is it possible for me to adjust it myself or should I let my mechanic??

The throttle body / plate may just need cleaning. That's a DIY with some throttle body cleaner if you are able to. There is no adjusting idle, its computer controlled.
It's also possible you have a vacuum leak also.

Ahh ok…I definitely know how to do that. I’ll start there. Thank you
