I'm assuming 750RPM, as indicated on the tach is the last RPM line before the 1000RPM mark? If so, my idle is just above the 2nd line.

Verified this again, rock solid needle at 500 rpm.

So I took my car in for its oil change and inspection and I asked them to take a look at why my idle is so low.

They hooked my car up to a "smoke machine" to check for any vacuum leaks. It had a clean bill of health. No leaks found.

So my mechanic told me I should just leave things alone. Although he said the idle was a little low, he didn't recommend messing with it.

So sorry there wasn't a solution, but at least I know my car is OK.

Chuck,
With the engine running can you unplug the ISV electrical connector and report back with the result?
