hmm i thought mine was a lil low, its like 450-500 all the time. when i first start it its around 800 then as it warms up, it sits at like 500 in park put in gear it goes to like 350-400 then goes to 450-500. wonder if it needs a tune or something?

As long as the car isnt stalling out I wouldnt worry about it. Maybe you can adjust the TPS and see if that helps. I wouldnt pay for a tune just to up my idle. But like I said if it isnt stalling I think your ok. Your lights dont dim or anything at night do they?

Around 550-600 in drive here, but like others have said, unless you're experience adverse effects, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
