RPMs at idle

I replaced my spider yesterday and I know I messed up the idle cable. What should my 2002 4 door auto tran be idling at?

Thanks Rich for the info. I see you're from Minneapolis so if that is true I hope you are safe and dry from all the flooding.

mine's closer to like 600, but I wish I could bump it up about 100 or 150, just to smooth out the idle a little and speed the AC compressor up a little at idle

My 2003 Idles at 600 to 625 RPM, which always seemed low to me, but it idles smooth and doesn't have any issues, so I guess that's where the ECM wants it.
