That seems a little high.

Check for a sticking throttle valve in the throttle body. Often a piece of debris in the cable will keep the engine from idling at the right speed. Also check for anything that might be causing problems on the INSIDE of the vehicle; something loose around the gas pedal.

After you've checked out those potential problems, and if it still idles high, check for a vacuum leak. Trust your ears. Often a vacuum leak will make a sucking sound that seems abnormal for the engine. Start with anything that has been worked on recently; if the brakes have been repaired, check the brake vacuum line. Often a can of starting fluid (used judiciously) can help locate a vacuum leak. Spray a small amount of fluid at a suspected vacuum leak; if the engine RPM changes, you have a clue as to where the leak may be.

Good luck.

Q: I have a 1999 Saturn SC2. Initial start up idle is 1100-1200 RPM. Once the engine reaches normal running temperature that lowers to between 1000-1100 RPM. Is that high or normal?

What is the 2's complement addition for 10001100 00111001?

To find the 2s complement, invert all the bits (to get the 1s complement) and add 1: 10001100 00111001 → 01110011 11000110 + 1 = 01110011 11000111 If you have an operator missing between the two numbers then if it is subtract: 10001100 - 00111001 = 10001100 + 11000111 = carry set & 01010011 & overflow set. If not subtract but some other operator, please re-ask your question with the operator written out as a word.

What is difference between the initial and final depth of water?

To find the difference between the initial and final depth of water is to subtract the final depth by the initial depth. The initial depth of what is what the water depth starts at and the final depth is the depth of the water once it is finished filling up.

What quantities do you need to calculate the amount of heat generated by an electrical appliances?

Heat (symbol: Q) is defined as energy in transit between a higher temperature and a lower temperature. This is determined from the following general equation:W - Q = m c (Tf - Ti)Where,W = work done (= I2Rt)Q = heat transferm = mass of conductorc = specific heat capacity of conductorTf = final temperature of conductorTi = initial temperature of conductor
