low idle after oil change and tranny flush - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I recently been experiencing a low idle at around 600-800 rpm when normally it would be around 1000. I just had an oil change and tranny flush at 33,000 miles and I was wondering is this normal?

I don't think there could be a link really.
Are you sure you didn't mess up with anything else (with the throttle body for instance) ? Did you change spark plugs as well ?
You mean normal idle at 1000 rpm, is that when engine is cold I guess ? It might be that your throttle body needs to be cleaned.
It could be a number of things in fact ...

This is the only thing that was changed in my car. It is possible that I only noticed it after the change and flush but I doubt it.

Normal idle should be 750-800 rpm's.

Took the words from my mouth, if anything...you car is running normal. I wouldn't worry about it. When you car idles above 1000k rpms...then you worry.
