Warm up the car, shut it off, disconnect the ECM coolant temp sensor connector, then restart the car and tell us how it runs. The sensor is on top of the front coolant crossover manifold and under the plug wires that go across the front. The sensor itself should have a green body.

So, I think I'll call it a day on this issue and leave it alone.

Many thanks for all the replies.

I think you're all good.

Mine is running at 500 RPM when in drive and around 750 when in park or neutral (measured with the code reader)

I can not tell the difference between 500 RPM and 600 RPM on the tach at all. Both look like it's around 700 RPM given the position. Nothing under 1,000 is accurate on the tach.
