Stock idle is 700-750 rpms. not entirely correct. once you start driving, yes, the ECU will correct any high/low idle to the best of it's ability. when you first start up, you can adjust the idle with a clip on the throttle cable (the clip goes over a small section of the cable with a whole bunch of ridges). I dunno if this is 95 V6 specific or not, but I've done it on my car when struggling with IAC stalling at startup. 1995 SE 2.5L V6/MTX 187k

I had to give it a few turns to keep the idle up before I replaced my IAC a while back. Worked fine....

Clean the throttle body. A dirty throttle body will often create a low idle speed. While you are at it, clean the IAC as well. Jim Johnson 98 SVT 03 Escape Limited
