Idle question
Hi
Morning (nowadays) RPM=1400
after 10 min----engine temp=normal
RPM (AT on D---break pressed like on stoplight) = ~650 RPM
Engine fully warmed ....... AT on neutral =850-900 (without any load apart from engine running
)
Should I lower the idle (by the IACV screw)? and if I do this lowering , will it MESS with (the idle when AT on D and break pressed) which I see fine with me ?
(i.e. the idle control , is it related to neutral gear or when the gear on D) ?

The idle screw changes the idle. Under load or not, it's all the same, really.
Whatever you set it to be in neutral will obviously affect when it's under load.
FWIW the idle spec is for neutral, it'll be lower when under load. That's from 600-700 RPM. It'll drop closer to ~500 or so when in gear at a stop.
