Question here...i know our car is supposed to idle at around 700 rpm. Of course when the engine is cold mine starts off pretty high,,, like 1500+.. but when the engine warms up, or i drive around and stop at a light, put it in park, noticed my rpms are at 200. anyone else notice this? Or is my car on cocaine again.....

The P5 should Idle between 500 and 700 RPM's. I would check your intake to see if maybe the MAF is plugged in all the way or something. Check all the connections to the spark plugs as well.
