mine idles at about just over 600 when warm. The car shakes a little bit when idling... is this what is supposed to happen? How do your cars idle?

just over 600 seems a bit low honestly.

The slight shake is normal, as long as it's a SLIGHT shake.

I'm usually 850-950 at idle, and it's smooth for the most part.

Get the reflash if you don't have it and have an 03. Idle will be adjusted up a bit.

mine idles around 700 with a slight shake

Kinda low compared to some here but I like the way it idles.

Though I have some loose exhaust and it rattles from time to time. :(

I bet the factory tachs are causing the variations in everyone's
readings more than an actual variation in idle speed between
everyone's cars. I bet they all idle pretty close to the same.
Just a thought...

Not sure on the RPM's...but it shakes a little, sometimes, as the idle fluctuates....

Not much or not often, but Ive heard its common...
