Honest Normal Idle
At this point, my car idle's in the 950's. If possible I want to try to get it within the 800's and if possible the 700's.
hehe with my mods (located on my sig) you think it would be possible?

I believe that a stock FD is supposed to idle at 750rpm. Mine is fluctuates from 740 to 850 depending on certain circumstances such as AC being on. But as long as it idles smoothly.. who cares.

Well the thing is, I am just trying to tone it down a bit. It isn't THAT important, but I would rather let my car idle smoothly at lower rpms like im used to rather then the 950 where the exhaust starts popping. =)

Turn the parking lights on, or turn the AC on at fan level 3 or 4. If the idle doesn't go up, your car's broken!
Worry about it !!

I have a question kind of off topic. When i start my car and if it runs for like a minute or two, after that the idle starts to fluctuate, from 1k to like 750 or so. After i drive it it stops, i was just wondering what that was.

Page F-135 says that it's the fan position at 3 or 4 that triggers the E/L circuit, not the AC itself, so if you run the AC with the fan at level 1 or 2, that may not result in increased RPM (I tend to always use 3). So I guess I was wrong about the cause of the increased rpm.
BoOsTin FD: It's normal (at least on my car) for the ECU to try to lower the rpm from 1K to 750 during cold warm up. It usually takes 3 or 4 attemps for it to succeed. I would guess that it's what people have called the "lean best idle function".

My rpm's really don't fluctuate much at all, but my boost psi does. After a good drive, at idle and while in Park, with the A/C and radio on, the car is booting about -15. When I turn the A/C and radio off, the boost goes to -17.

My vacuum is usually in the 20's until the turbos come online but i dunno.
The rpm's go from 1600 to 1200 to 1000 to 950's and just goes a up and down by the 10's.
