95 2.2 idles low??
when i start it cold it idles up to 1400rpm then it drops as it warms up down to 400rpm hot.
and while driving when i come to a full stop its at 1100rpm (its an automatic) sometimes, mostly in the 400rpm range. once in a while it will hang about 900rpm.
any ideas? the car sat for 14 months before i got it.

yea 400 rpm it was on the pin
it wont stall but it comes off the line slower and i get some belt sqeeling
the average idle speed for any car should be about 900rpm with the engine warmed up
sounds like your cars off a little

I also have the same problem on my 98 outback sport. Sometimes when I drive it, the idle will drop to 2-400RPM at stops. It has never died, and the problem seems to come and go... I'm stumped

I should have mentioned that I have a MT, and it probably really idles around 650 - 700 RPM, but I've never had any problems with it at all.
I don't think there should be any belt squealing at any speed. Do you happen to know which belt it is? Could be too loose or too tight? I know sometimes overtightened stuff causes more friction but I've never heard of this in a car.

idles back to normal dont know what happend maby somethin was gunked up. car sat for about 14months before i got it.
just in time for inspection last day for my temp. registration. idle is about 600-650 that works for me. from what ive read you have to adjust the idle with the ecm.
