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. --------------------  |

well thats just it, it could be idling fine at 500, but it could be hurting your performance or fuel eco because its so low, lean/rich mixture, or an iac issue. My 5s-fe only had 15,000kms on it and if i let it sit on the 500 rpm line for more than 30 seconds or so, it slowly died
