rpms slightly fluctuates at idle?

OK so I just recently started using the torque app on Android and I noticed my rpms go from 6.85 to 6.75 rpm at idle. Is that normal to fluctuate like that or could something be wrong? Maybe

Mine does it all the time, I wouldn't complain with that small of a difference.

Try a 4" MAF and 440's with a SAFCII and no primary O2's.

If you have an idle at six and eighty five hundredths (6.85) revolutions per minute, I doubt your car would be running at all.

Sometimes I hate that teaching math has made me this way...

Pretty sure there's an x1000 in there somewhere.

I believe that 720-750 is the ideal idle RPM. But you should be fine- only start to worry if it is more than maybe 100RPM+ higher or lower.

If it really bugs you...
Try relearn procedures
Clean MAF
Sea Foam
Check plugs/ coils

Also, post your model year when asking questions or fill out your profile

675 +/- 50 for AT's, remove 50 for MT's is from the FSM.
