On my new 06 the idle flicks up and down 100 revs (from 1000 to 900).

Is this normal?

It may only be on start up, i am not sure if it goes away after a while as i have not driven it much.

I think its normal. I've got the same thing going on my 05. I beleive its just the ecu pulling the timing dependding on ambient temperature. I could be wrong.

very normal

100 rpm fluctuation in an engine (a highly tuned, high strung one at that) that goes over 8000 rpm and you're concerned that it may not be normal?
It's the Idle Air Control doing its best to keep a stable idle when atmospheric conditions and engine conditions are changing.
You would be better off wondering if it's normal why the sky isn't blue all the time.

Having spent this many years answering the same questions repeatedly, I'm merely trying to ward off boredom not only for myself but for those who have seen the answers repeatedly.

What's the problem with asking a question, most of us are here to learn about our cars, so sorry oh mighty one.

I answered your question. If you don't like a little humour injected into it, then ya. You won't get any more answers from me.

Its sad really when looking at society, have so many of us turned into big pussies that we cant take jokes and read into dry humor?
