Idle rpms
when I turn on my car, it idles at 1.5 k rpms. When I put it in gear, it goes down to 1.25 k rpms. I heard its supposed to idle at .75 k rpms.
So what's the deal? What did I screw up this time? All I got is a custom intake (DAC from dc sports). Help! I am wasting gas!!

try turning it up by a little screw by the Throttle Body and where the throttle cable goes to the TB.

Yea, my car once warm dropes Idel to about .75k as well and then everything kinda shakes a little, but If I rev it to about 900 everything smooths out and my engine idles smooth, and quietly. Do you know how I would adjust that on my 92 accord?

dude when you start your car up cold its supposed to idle above warmed up idle speed. when i cold start mine it starts at 1.5k and slowly drops to between 500 and 800. there are a ton of factors involved and i would rather not get into great detail only to say that its normal. now if your cold start idle is like 2k+ then somethings wrong or if it bounces all over the place somethings wrong.
oh as for adjusting the idle, yes the little screw is what you wanna do. DO NOT TOUCH the throttle cable. also dont adjust it till its completely warmed up. and i do believe turning it clockwise lowers the idle and counterclockwise raises the idle. just turn it one way and if the engine bogs or stall's you know to turn it the other way or vice versa. your not gonna do any harm by stalling it if you go the wrong way. besides its not so fine of an adjustment that one false move will stall the engine or overrev it. its a very gradual process.

i would check the gap on your spark plugs that often causes idle problems as the gap gradually increases
