Default Re: Running engine at 800-900 rpm in neutral

Both of my 2012 cars idle at 750rpm. Before anyone attacks modern engines, these little 1.4 liter engines peak torque at 1700rpm and hold it to 5500rpm so I wouldn't say they are bad.

Anyway, my feelings are the model A's engine could run at 1000rpm 24\7 with no load on it with a little timing advance and the proper fuel mixture.
