My Red Rose Idles at 7-800 rpm.

Is this std?

The thing is, at this speed there is a lot of vibration and the engine sounds like it will stall (which it does when just started from cold).

I know that this is not an engine that Mercedes would use and it's character is all the better for it. Unfortunately I have not seen another car in order to draw a comparison.
