Idle RPM is considered normal if it hovers between 700 - 800 RPM.

Below that, then it is considered low.

You can try to clean the throttle body and MAF sensor. It should restore the idle to normal by doing that.

SC will do it for you upon your request. I just don't know how much they charge.

Just saw your car is having GDI engine. The low RPM can also be due to carbon deposits located at the intake valve. A very common problem on GDI engine. It will take a lot more work to clean these area.

I always DIY on my Honda City 2010.
