If I haven't driven it overnight, my idle usually starts out around 2k rpm. I let the car warm up for a few minutes and it usually idles around 500 rpm. It might be just the oh sooo very cold weather we have here in California. :P

But no problems with the motor running rough at idle.

It just seems to vibrare alot. I can feel the shifter vibrating as well. Even after long driving, the idle does not seem 100% stable. Like it will fluctuate just a tiny bit once on a long while. My 165K mile Integra'd idle is rock solid.

I,ve got an 07, and I noticed the low RPM at idle (500 or so) and some strange vibration through the shifter as well. Talked to the dealer and they said these things do idle at 500 when warm. I was concerned, but after reading through this, I feel much better. Thanks for the knowledge. Now I know it's not just mine!

It is perfectly normal for the shifter to vibrate, it is directly connected to the transmission. The person the with integra that the shifter never moved, is because it has a linkage that is it connect to the tranny, and the linkage softed out the shifter vibrations.

Don't let the retards at the dealer fool you, the car should idle 650 +-50 rpm, not 500. The car idles like this because they screwed up something, what a bunch of morons. I hate stupid nissan
