It depends on the size of the engine and the number of cylinders it has. An eight cylinder could idle between 550 and 850 rpms while a four could be between 700 and 1000. It is possible that the rpms could even be higher, but that again depends on size, cyl, and year it was made. The best way for you to answer this question is to look in the owners manual if you have one. If you are lacking the manual, ask at a local parts store. The people at the auto parts store are always happy to help because if the car is broken, it could mean a sale for them. Just remember to bring the following information for them. Make of car (Ford, Chevy, etc.), model of the car (Mustang, Impala, etc.), year it was made, the size of the engine (289 cubic inches, 2.2 liter, etc.), and the number of cylinders. Good luck!

My 1996 Neon 3-speed auto transmission RPM shift from 1000 to 1500 when idle N or P. But if I change from N to D or P to D RPM is back to 1000. Anyone know what's wrong?
Simple, in D or any other forward or reverse gear you are putting a load on the engine by activating the transmission. N or p are neutral gears that put no load on the engine and that is why you can take your foot off the brake in either one. The question is what is the normal idle rpm of your vehicle? If it is out of range then it must be adjusted.The normal idle RPM of Neon is 1000. It just went up to 1500 when I stop at the red light yesterday. It was 1500 rpm on both N and P. It's never been like this. I think something is wrong.

How do you adjust the idle on a carburetor for a generator?
Engines that run generators don't normally idle. As soon as you start one, the engine immediately comes up to operating speed, usually 1800 or 3600 RPM for North America, and 1500 or 3000 RPM for Europe. There is a governor that keeps the engine at this speed. It does have an adjustment, but this is for normal operating speed, not idle. Many models of portable generators have manuals that can be downloaded. Check the manufacturers website.
1993 Probe GT When engine warm it surges between 1000 and 1500 RPM at idle Why Does not surge when RPM above 1500?
Sounds to me like this might be due to your A/C cycling on and off if you have it set to defrost. It does this to dry out the air that it routes to the windshield so that it can more effectively de-fog the glass. When the A/C engages, it puts load on the engine, and thus the RPM must increase to keep it at idle.
