Stall Speed Test: Notes

  1. Ensure engine and transmission are at normal operating temperature. Check fluid level and add if necessary. Connect tachometer to vehicle and ensure it is visible to driver. Apply parking brake and block all 4 wheels.
    CAUTION: DO NOT  maintain stall speed RPM for more than 5 seconds. Ensure at least a 30 second pause at idle between tests.
  2. Start engine, apply brakes and place transmission in "D" position. Depress accelerator to full throttle and note maximum RPM obtained. Repeat test in "L" and "R" positions. Stall speed should be 2300-2600 RPM (Geo & Suzuki), or 2000-2300 RPM (Kia).
