whats your idle speed
Just trying to see what the average idle speed for most is. When I sit at a stop light, my idle speed is just under 500 rpms. I would say mine sits right at 400 or so. What is your idle speed?

at a stop light mine also sits at about 300-400 rpms, sometimes 200 but it comes back up a little bit. I have a '90 auto 6I

mine sits at 200 at idle when cold and 250/300(MAYBE) when at operating temp
actually sometimes it sits at 200 even at operating temp.
but my jeep is special.

Its amazing how much idle speed varies amoung us. I was feeling like 400 to 450 was low but I am starting to feel ok about it. If I had a manual shift I would be looking for more in the 600 to 700 range but I guess mine is ok for an automatic.
