Idles 650 in drive
Idles great in drive!!!!
alwasy ided that in drive
that's about right & my reading the tach could be 700 too
Its right where it should be in drive

Label on engine says 650 to 750 I think
can't recall but 650 is fine

OOOh spark plugs listed were bosch W7D

I know the manual has a specific range of idel speed, probably 850-950. First, the tach is not a guarantee that it is correct, second, if the car is running well and is driving well, + or - 100 or so rpm is not going to ruin anything. I bet in drive it settles down to the recommended idle doesnt it? around 900? Its fine.
Drive it some more and she will be fine.
