Idle 500rpm after throttle body cleaning

So I just got my throttle body and maf sensor cleaned and the air filters replaced but had the shop do the throttle body and relearn since my car has never been touched on the throttle body before (it was about impossible to get the rubber tubes off let alone on so I had to take it to the shop nearest to me that I went to before) after I got my car back my car idles in drive just slightly above or at 500rpm - 550/600??? unless it's been moving for a while (so it'd be at 650rpm) and has been hesitating or just feels a bit off, when I arrived at home though it was acting all normal again and it was a 650rpm but from what I've seen it's common or something like that..? 2013 37x 69700k miles now just about, any help would be appreciated not sure if I should worry or not, did see one post saying it's normal for it to be 500rpm under certain conditions but I'm not sure. Have a good day!

You should be fine. If you go way back into the forums people that newly purchased these cars with less than 10K miles had that issue where it would idle fine, then dip to 500RPM then jump back up to 650RPM. Mine still does it since 75K miles and I have 143K miles now. So nothing to really worry about.

I agree actually

I went back to the mechanic that helped me out and said it's in factory specs and shouldn't be messed with, as long as there's no engine light, hesitation, ect I should be fine, plus my gas milage seems to be improving, and my car doesn't sound like a diesel anymore! ..Well until I drove it again later that day lmaooo

I actually forgot about this thread and posted an updated new one haha, but yea if it's not gonna cause any issues then it should be fine, but so far only once my car hesitated when still idling at 500rpm till it warmed up to 650

https://www.myg37.com/forums/newbie-...le-500rpm.html just gonna send a link for it but it seems in my case or all of our G's cases it might be related to the computer

Yeah, I would not worry about it too much. I'm now at 144K miles and it did it a few times today, but it does not bother me as long as it does not stall out. Also, if I have the A/C on it usually hovers around 650-700RPM.
