What causes idle to slip?
After getting the 7 back out on the road after winter, I noticed that vacuum readings are around 15 psi, as opposed to the usual 18. Trying to think this through, I find that air temperatures are still a little low with temps in the 30s. However, I noticed that my idle speed is running around 900 RPM instead of the usual 750. This would seemingly cause the loss of three pounds of vacuum but what would cause the idle to slip in the first place? Car seems to run perfectly, otherwise, 10-8-10 boost and all.
