What is normal RPM at idle?
Drove a 94 GXE this afternoon and it drove great but everytime I stopped the car, had a pretty significant vibration like it was idleing to low. I think it was idleing about 900 rpm. Is this a problem or can it be adjusted?
Thanks

I dunno...700-900rpm is pretty normal idle.

If you clean the throttle body, the car will idle significantly smoother. I didn't believe it for a several years (from 65k miles until about 137k miles) until I finally decided to try it.

I ususually am about 650-700. Maybe your spark plugs are bad.

mine spazzes out sometimes. I find it at 1500 sometimes...It acts like it doesnt know where its supposed to be. I also notice when it is idling normally at around 750, that it kinda shakes up and down in rpms like it cant stay smooth. And yes, I cleaned my TB once, I will do it again more thoroughly soon.

Normal idle RPM
According to the FSM, the idle should be at 750 rpms +/- 50 rpms while in Neutral.
