Rough Idle on new car?
I noticed that my car has a unstable idle? Is this normal, Basically it plays it goes from below 1000 to around 800 and then raises up a little more, but most of the time its at 1000. At times I can even feel some vibration or the engine kinda shaking. Car is completely stock with a little over 3k on it.

idle should be at 750. maybe theres a leak of some sort.
...doh. i remember. i had the same problem when stock. i had to re-tighten the clamps on both ends of the throttlebody <-> intercooler hose. it was a little loose. that would cause irratic idle. |

2. Idle is always more erratic/higher when you have the AC on or the car is just warming up. -st |

Mine shakes a good bit at idle,i think all Turbo engines idle rough its there nature.I had a 03 Baja non Turbo before this one and when the engine was idling you couldn't tell it was running.Its kinda disapointing that a new car idles this rough.This is my first Turbo car,the power and speed is nice but so is a smooth running engine.I don't think i'll be buying another Turbo car after this one is gone.I've had too many problems for the amount of money spent and only 5 mos old with 5,200 on the clock.

My STi has done this since day 1. It typically settles in at 500 or so, and will climb as high as 1500 when it's cold. Once amply warmed up it tends to stay at the 500'ish level. I wouldn't be overly worried unless it's still acting as fickle once you're at the 2-3k in mileage.......
