What does it tickover at?

Does it slow at all after running a couple of minutes from cold or stay at the same level?

Hmmm . . .

My thoughts were the fast idle from cold wasn't shutting off but 800 doesn't sound fast enough for that. Mine ticks at around 750, although its been a fair bit lumpier since the air-con packed up.

Not sure if its related, does your rpm increase when the a/c is on?
