Default Quick newbie question

Guys, just to put my mind at rest, 2 quick questions:

1) My car creeps forward to the tune of 7mph (even more when cold) when in 'D' without any throttle input. Is this normal? (stock converter)

2) My oil pressure when hot (215 degrees coolant temp) is 28psi. Is this normal?

Thanks! :)

:confused: Does not sound right to me. I am sure someone on the CF will have a comment or two on this matter.

O.P. is fine..... it's been so long since my car was stock, I don't remember. 7mph does seem fast..... I'm sure someone will chime in with a stocker.

Both are in the "normal" range, but the forward motion seems at the highend. What is your idle rpm? :confused:

Idle RPM seems to be right on 550rpm when hot
