    what you idle at?

    so yeah today i was at a red light and i noticed my idle was very low about 400 half of the 1000 mark and it seemed like it was dying ... the only thing that bugs me about this is that the guage lights dim than light back up when i give it abit of gas ...... what do you guys usually idle at when at a red light?

        if idling above, make sure you don't have a vacuum leak, then if its still high, turn the idle down with the screw on the throttle body

                With a warmed idle i can sit around 500 maybe a bit lower then that at times, or when cold 1000-1500 =P got an auto CB7 EX

                    Mine idles 800-850. Whenever I lower it to 750 kinda feels like it wants to die kinda but not really.
