University of Oklahoma. (Redirected from Oklahoma University) The University of Oklahoma (OU) is a coeducational public research university located in Norman, Oklahoma. Founded in 1890, it had existed in Oklahoma Territory near Indian Territory for 17 years before the two became the state of Oklahoma.
Normal idle on MOST cars is 850 RPM at normal operating temperature. If it is idling that high, you may have binding linkage or the choke is not fully opening. If it is BANGING into gear, you could cause other drive train problems. You may also have a RUN ON condition when you turn the key off.
What is the normal RPM when driving 55mph? My 1997 3.0L LX runs at just under 2000 RPM at 55mph. But, it 'sounds' like it's 3000 RPM, in that it's noticeably more 'hummy' now. Not sure what that's about. Is there a chance the O/D button got pushed accidentally (and it's not in O/D now)? If so, that still wouldn't explain it showing 2000 RPM (which sounds about right and shouldn't sound revved up).
