Low idle RPM?
I just purchased a new 2007 C6. The RPM indicates about 500 RPM at idle and has a slight what I call a miss. It seems to run smooth at all other RPMs but there seems to be another issue which I think is associated with the low RPM. The C6 is an auto-stick and when slowing to turn, I find that when I push the accelerator out of the turn, it seems to hesitate, but only for a very short period. I took it back to the dealer but he said that there were no indications of problems and that there were no faults. Is this normal? I've never seen any engine idle at only 500 RPM.

the idle is that low also it is drive by wire so that's why the rpm pickup is slow getting a tune will solve that problem
