What is the correct idle for our Maxs'?
What is the correct Idle for our 4th gen 5speed maxes? Currently, after my car warms up a bit, it sits right at 600. Is that where it's supposed to be or does it need to be higher/lower?

when I start my car the idle is around 1300-1500... Goes down to 1000, then after it gets warmed up its around 650-700

I think auto is supposed to have a warm idle at around 850.

Ideal idle for most manual transmission vehicles is 5k rpm, although Maximas tend to have it a little higher - I would say anything from 5k to 6.5k is considered normal.
