the higher numbers are for when the engine is cold, lower when warm.

Looking at those numbers, spot on for my 2.2

At normal driving temperature should be 500 rpm without air con switched on, with air con on 650-700rpm well thats what mine ticks over at anyway

thanks for the info mine is correct seemed abit slow for v6, my vectra was just under 1000 thanks again

There are far more knowledgeable guys on here than me but sounds like your vectra could be ticking over a little high :-?

The Vectra should be about the same....

If it's only just started doing this, Air Leak maybe!!!!!

if its at 500 as u say i wouldnt worry at all as mine does it and quite few others do aswell but if that doesnt help do as stated above look for an airleak check the vac pipes etc etc but i personally wouldnt worry about it
