    high/wondering idle on eta

    My eta starts in the morning and has a wondering idle between 1000-1300 rpm before settling into a groove. In general the car idles around 1000 as well. Should this be lower? I don't really have any complaints about the way the car runs otherwise, but I'm wondering if there might be gunk on a valve somewhere or whatever.

    Clean the ICV. Could also be a lazy O2 sensor.
