Default Normal idle for 5spd sc300s

Hey guys, whats the normal idle for a 93sc300 5spd wifout the AC on? Mine seems to idle at about 900-800? Is that a little high? From my experience from other cars it seems to always run at about 750-700?

800-900 still seems reasonable. Mine has idled at what seemed to be 300 before ( don't even know if that's possible) until i blip the throttle. Then its around the 700-900 area

750 - 800, if your idling low at 300 or so, check for a vacuum leak

reset the ecu by disconnecting the negative terminal on your battery for about 10 mins or so, when i first got my car the idle was around 1000 after the reset its at about 750, i think it has something to do with the altitude and atmospheric pressure.
