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

If that's too low, what's the magic number then?
I mean, how do you know if you have a problem or not. My car isn't stuttering or idleing rough, but at the same time, it's not like it was a month ago. -------------------- |
