Normal idle RPMs?
I have an 88 GXL and I was wonderin what the normal idle RPM was? I am at around 1200 after working up, possibly a lil lower. Anyone know what it is supposed to be at? Thanks.

Mine tends to idle where it wants right now because I haven't gotten all the adjustments made perfectly, anywhere between 500 and 900 depending on accessories being used and such.
If I could pick an idle speed to set it at permanently it would be 600.

My fast idle cam roller is wired back and no longer touching the cam, so that's not what's causing it to fluctuate.
Like I said before, I like 600.

My TPS is slightly out of adjustment, so my idle is at a rock steady 1000. Maybe someday when I get a new TPS, I can put her back to 800. It seems, when the idle was at 750, that when the car gets up to about 1/3 to 1/2 on the temp gauge, that it liked to bounce the idle around. I didnt like that, so I adjusted up a little. Much better now.
