In park between 500-800. It will fluctuate a little here and there. Not sure about drive I have always had a manual cherokee... And thats also a renix.

Thats good to know--mine always idled LOW -but run good that way!!-- after I had some work done on it the idle was faster-I have noticed that with the idle runing faster that the temp runs a little bit hotter(not hot) but the lower the better--so I am hopeing my idle will go back down on its own after i drive it awhile!??
