What is the engine supposed to idle at? I know the built in tachometer isn't 100% correct but it looks like it idles at 800 rpm. Is that too high?

I just cleaned the throttle body, put half a bottle of sea foam in the engine and the other half in the gas tank and changed the fuel filter which was over due. That didn't really make a difference.

I am going to try running higher octane gas and some more fuel injector cleaner the next tank. I am also going to get some denso iridium plugs for it.

If it were a vacuum leak where would I check? I looked at the obvious places but didn't see any problems.
