What's do you idle at? Options

[CastrolCelica]

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

Would you take it in to be looked at if it usually was around 1000 RPMs but now is 5-700? And that's in cold and heat. Seriously, when I start the car, it sounds week.. it doesn't make the h h h humMMMmmmm sound when starting up now. It's just h h h hhmm with a low dip in the middle of the hhmm.

Btw, this all changed the day the new battery terminals were installed. They are not corroded though, or melting off like my old cheap ones from auto zone. The dealer put these ones on (they're stock), because I was tired of facing issues with 3rd party ones.
