LFX Ideal Idle
My car has lately been hovering between 500-600 rpms when it's warmed up. I feel like this is kinda low, but I could be wrong so I wanted to ask. The tach also hops 50-100 rpms at idle causing it to drop below 500 at times. Is all this normal? Does idle need to be adjusted?

That's where mine sits. As long as it doesn't start shaking feeling like its going to die, I think that's where it should be.

yea, 500's about right. burns less gas that way. I'm sure that's the reason they do it.

I don't have a ton of V6 knowledge, but that seems normal.
