Also, not sure why I was thinking 600, but the car does idle at 800 which it's supposed to. If I up the idle speed it would just make the car sound like I'm revving it up all the time, which would be somewhat annoying and above the specs in the manual. But if the alternator does need a new pulley to spin faster as snb said, how much smaller does it have to be? I noticed that while my car has low voltage at 800 RPMs, it regains it as low as 11-1200 RPMs, so would a pulley 2/3 the size mean it would spin 3/2 as fast, so when the car is at 800 RPMs the alternator would spin like it's at 1200?</p></blockquote><p></p>
