low idle

is it unusual that my car idles at under 250 rpm? i searched for the normal idle rpm and found it's somewhere between 600 and 1500, but i havent noticed any problems, except that sometimes it stalls right after i start it. should i look into getting it adjusted or leave it as is?

A cold engine will idle at 1500rpm and a warm engine should idle at 600rpm. If yours is indeed idling that low then something is wrong.

Try cleaning the throttle body out by spraying carb cleaner in it and wiping off the excess.
