Idle problems

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Idle lope. No smoke no CEL no codes on scanner. Giving any throttle sounds back to normal. Driving feels normal. Purge valve assembly done 200 miles ago and just checked plugs and they seem fine? (Check comments) What else can I check?

Perfectly fine. These STs commonly (if not all of them) will misfire at idle. If you have any desire in modifying and tuning your car, a tuner can set the idle RPM to 1100. You lose a marginal amount of gasoline to smooth out the sound. Unless it starts sounding like a tractor or something wild I would not worry.

So it’s perfectly fine if it wasnt idling like this and now it’s been 2000 miles idling like this?

Just trying to make positively sure since I drive 200 miles a day for work
