Default 98 XK8 Normal idle
Have a feeling my xk8 idles to low. It's a stock XK8. What RPM should it be at when idling at park and drive?

~600 rpm in park once it is warmed up.

Although I agree with the above, I can't find it anywhere in JTIS or vehicle specifications!

I'll have to agree with xenophobe, That's what my XKR idles at. but there may be a difference between the XK8 or XKR.
