[QUOTE="Yardsale , post: 1025531, member: 58988"] The engine management system [i]should[/i] keep the idle the same regardless of ambient temperature and whether the (A/C) compressor is on or off. It seems that some variation is okay, but 600 seems low. My '01 idles at what I think is low ~650 and it is sometimes slow to shift from reverse to drive and vise versa. Because of the engine management system, I'm not in the habit of fiddling with the idle and am kind of waiting until something breaks that will explain the low idle. Of course, this may not happen. This noted - maybe ... this is a sign of an older engine (245,000 miles) that needs a little idle adjustment help?? [/QUOTE]
