idling
We have a 98 Civic LX. Last weekend our daughter was sitting in the car listening to the radio for about 10 minutes and when I got there the car wouldn't turn over. We got a jump but the car continued to idle just a notch or two above zero. We checked the battery and didn't see the green light in the eye so replaced the battery. The idle continued low. I adjusted the throttle. But the question is, is what rpms is the car suppose to idle at? Below 1 above 1??????? Right now, the idle sits at 1 or just above, is this too high?

The idle should be about 750rpm with no load.(everything turned off)
the idle should be 1,000-1,500rpm when cold(fast idle) adjust the idle by turning the idle adjustment screw, not by tightening the throttle cable

The eye only shows the condition of one cell, not the entire battery. So yea that eye is pretty much useless. Battery testers are a good thing
