idle RPM???

I adjusted the throttle cable(DIY) a couple of months ago and I forgot what the factory sets the idle RPM. Can anyone tell me what you idle at??[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Anywhere between 600 and 700 if I remember correctly. I know that's where mine sits at least, and the Honda dealership said that's normal...

1000-2000 rpm, now Im back to normal. I was having trouble turning the car off so I figured it was the idle.

Thanx everyone![IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

Your car (after it has been warmed up) should idle at 700 +/- 50 RPMS. This is per the HELMS manual.

You guys are all idling around 700? I'm idling @ around 550. Just wondering why the difference.
