    So does this sound normal?

    YouTube - MVI 0101

    It idles around 7-900rpm now. Before i redid some wiring around the battery it used to idle and bop at around 500rpm, and was hell quiet because of it.

    Im liking the new idle, but just wondering if its normal

    Usually when you first start the car it will be around 1100rpm before quickly dropping back to 700-900
