low idle

just got a new clutch form carlsen(great customer service) on monday and now my car seems to idle pretty low at around 900 wen it used to idle at 1200.
whats the normal idle for 02 rex? and it sounds like its close to stall out in neutral but never does?
can anyone help?
thanks

900 is pretty high let alone 1200. Most of us idle around 500 - 600. My idle is at 525. Depending on your mods, if any, it tends to idle lower such as with headers and lightened flywheels. At 900, it should not be acting as if it wants to stall! Do you have any mods? If so, do you have engine management? Could be just a tuning issue.

Why would it idle lower with headers?
