Where do you idle?
 
So after being warm at around 180 dgs I looked down and it felt like a lil low for RPMs at 600 and when I placed it in park it went to 900. Is this normal? http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...d394df5de1.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...31a2ca0897.jpg(Look at my sig for mods)

I can't speak to the Park idle as I have a manual, but after reaching operating temps, my idle is around 600.

Yeah i think we idle "low" compared to other engines because of the vvel. We idle low like a v8

Where do I idle? At traffic lights mostly :rofl2:

In gear, I tend to idle around ~680 with a warmed up engine (according to OBD). Which I (guess) is what your tachometer is showing? Idling higher in park is normal.

I sit at about 680 in gear and 700 in park. I have an OBD2 reader that tells me the exact RPM though. It's not a huge difference between park and gear, but there's a definite difference.

600 vs. 900, on the other hand is a little disconcerting unless that 900 was when the engine was first started and warmed up.

I have this weird issue after getting a p0300 code.
My idle is normally around 600(Manual trans) but when the ses light came on my idle danced around 1000-1100 and my gas mileage SUFFERED.
I use my obd2 to reset the light and everything is fine...3 months later the light comes back and the same idle issue resurrected???
I reset and immediately all is fine again. Should I do something about this? Bone stock besides k&n typhoon intakes.
