My car is a 91 CRX HF and I cranked it up and it idled fine then I drove it to make sure the air pressure is good due to a low tire so I went home shut it off, went back out to check the oil and such, checked it..it's burning oil So I crank it and it idles at around 1200 then after about 30 seconds it drops to around 800..could it be the oil or are there other things involed? It has a flea bay intake on it that the previous owner so graciously dubbed me with so I had to fix that but hooking up a diffeent vaccum line to the engine because he had nothing there..any solutions??

800 is a little low, does the engine shake?

Did I mention quiet?

800 is perfectly fine, actually.

Ideal idle is 750 +- 50. So, 800 is just w/in spec. If anything, turn it down a little, not up.
