Strange Idle, not sure if it's even a problem

My idle is strange. It's purrs like a kitten and doesn't hunt or even really bounce at all, but it idles at different RPMs all the time. Anywhere from 700-1100. when it gets to the RPM it decides to stop at, it stays there and purrs, but it's not consistent. Anyone hear of this?

Your throttle mechanism or your throttle cable may be sticking. Try to clen them a little with some WD-40. Your throttle cable may also be a little too tight not letting the throttle settle down to 700 RPMs all of the time. Had it happen so that's why I know.

EDIT: "clen" should be "clean"

Yes, it's pretty common, my idle is never the same. Some days it sits at 1000 then I reset it and the next day it is at 550rpm. Then I reset it again and its perfect. Touchy little bitch ain't she! It's only a problem if you want it to be. The idle is a little rough below 600rpm and the timing is pulled I believe 22 degrees at 975rpm(that's what causes the slight miss when idling at 975 and up) That's with the stock ecu or an upgraded stocker. Good luck
