low idle

is it ok that my car idles under 1000 rpms? I notice that i have to give it a little more gas in order to get moving when im easing off the clutch in traffic. should I just adjust the screw on my TB?

RE: low idle

I don't think you have a problem. My 97 GT idles at anywhere from 750-950 rpm. What do you mean you need to give it a little more gas? Is it sluggish?

My 03 Mach's Idle is 800 rpm solid... 1000-1100 if the motor is cold. just get it to 2k rpms and ease of the clutch :-p

I guess its a little sluggish. I mean unless I give it more gas than im used to, i can feel the car getting ready to stall as i ease the off the clutch.

give it more gas than you're used to compared to what? Has the car only recently started to do this or is this a 'new' car to you?
