gte swapped car, stock idle?
I have a sc300 with a gte swap that I purchased from someone on this board.
On a cold start with no ac the car idles at about 750rpms. After the car warms up and with the ac on the idle raises to about 1100. AC off, it drops to about 900-1000. Is this normal idle or do I have something going on with my car?

Cold start idle should be a little higher, but it's really no big deal. Won't hurt anything. Your car is supposed to idle up slightly when you turn your A/C on. Everything sounds perfectly normal to me!! No worries!

It shouldn't raise drastically when you put your lights on, maybe 50rpm or so. It's only because the alternator has to work slightly more due to the extra strain on the battery.
