Curb idle refers to the engine's idle speed when a vehicle is parked and the engine is running, typically with the vehicle's transmission in the "park" or "neutral" position. This setting is important for ensuring that the engine runs smoothly and efficiently while the vehicle is stationary. Curb idle can be influenced by factors such as engine temperature, fuel mixture, and air intake, and is often adjusted during engine tuning or maintenance to meet manufacturer specifications.

What is curb idle speed?
Curb idle speed refers to the engine RPM (revolutions per minute) at which a vehicle idles when it is stationary and in gear, typically measured with the vehicle's transmission in the "Drive" position. This speed is crucial for ensuring that the engine runs smoothly and efficiently while allowing for a minimal amount of power to be sent to the wheels, preventing the vehicle from moving. Proper curb idle speed can enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. It is often specified by the vehicle manufacturer and can vary between different makes and models.
