Your car is idling properly.

Well I suppose 700 on cold start is a bit better, but mine idles @ 550-600. Computer's "Target Idle" reads 550 by my scanner, and my idle shows 550-575 then in gear.

I'd check to see if your IAC or TPS are working properly. Maybe just replace both.

Alright I just checked mine, for my TPS "mod" and it's called "Desired Idle" by my scanner. At cold start it wants 900, which I idle at. 550 is warm idle.
