Low RPM, bad or good?

As long as it's not shaking, shuddering or sputtering, a low idle is not a big deal. But I think it should be around 600-700 rpm for your car. Better safe than sorry.

hi guys, i'm a newbie here..i just wanna ask for a good auto shop here in las piñas or bacoor area where i could go to fix my idle speed..my ride is a toyota 1.6 gli (matic) love life model..because when the engine is warmed up already the idle speed drops to around 7k rpm (i think it's within the allowable range) and the car is shaking especially during traffic..i've been to TAI and shell across perpetual help hospital and still they didn't fixed the problem..
your recommendations are highly appreciated..tia po mga sirs..

I am surprised because based on my experience, the guys at Shell across Perpetual Hospital should have easily fixed your problem....

Anyway, Shell Coastal Road, just below the flyover should be a sure shot to fix your idling issue... You can also try Shell beside Las Pinas Doctor's Hospital.....

Good luck bro.

thanks cvt for the reply..maybe i'll try to go back to shell (perp) or coastal in time for my change oil and tune up..sana maayos na at matagal na tong prblema ko, wala kasing makaayos..
pero ano ang pwede ko sabihin na dapat nila iadjust o kalikutin to be sure na magawa nila?
thanks again bro..
