is it normal to have the rpm arm close to the one, and not at 0. i noticed that when you look at both the speedometer/rpm arm, the speedometer arm is at 0... and the rpm arm is near the 1. my warranty is ending soon, and i'm not sure if i should address this.

Of course it's normal, your engine is idling! When the arm goes to 0, your engine has stalled.

I believe 700rpm is the "normal" idle for our cars. You will find that it will idle much higher when you start it on a cold day. It hasn't gone above 20 degrees here in a week and my car is idling at about 1,500rpm from a cold start. Once it warms up it will idle at 700 again like it's supposed to.

Do not be alarmed.
