Matt:

The flywheel, or lack thereof, should not affect idle speed, just idle smoothness. The ICV should control idle to the correct value.

My warm idle speed is about 650-700 rpm.

I have a lightweight flywheel.

I am getting the impression that the warm idle should be 950. Thus, i have a _very_ low warm idle.

My cold idle is around 1100.

Do you suppose its the flywheel doing this ? Or should I look to something else ?

Thanks,
Matt
