i understand this is a very noobie question but i rather find out if there is somethin wrong then have somethin bad happen to my car.

alright so when the car is on but not moving (yes the car is warm and everythin)... is the car supposed to be at 0 rpm........ cuz mine isnt its always at like 1 rpm or 1200 rpm....... i ask this cuz i've seen videos of celicas that are at 0 rpm at a dead stop while the car is idled...

No the car should be around 800 to 1k rpms at idle.

My engine is @ ~1500RPM (cold) and @ ~850RPM (hot)... Like everybody it seems ;) Maybe you should do a gauge recalibration... :confused:

0 rpm means your motor isnt doing anything...

True.
Or just try recalibrating the needle.
