I think there might be something wrong with my car. It starts up a bit soft and idles around .75 RMP. Last I checked, I was 1.5 RPMs in idle and my start was much stronger.
Let me know if I'm just going nuts. Everyonce in a while it will idle at 1.5, but then soon dips back. It's gone as low as .50 RMP. Thanks. --------------------  |

When the car is warmed up it should be close to 900 RPM. Just shy of 1k.
All regular Celicas I've seen tend start at around 1500 - 2000 when cold and come down to 900 when they warm up. My GT4 though only fast idles at 1100RPM before coming down to 900. -------------------- Mike W
