Nope. 650 sounds just right.
Perhaps throw the Optima back in just for a minute and drive it around
to eliminate the battery?

I'll check that but since it's definitely charging the battery I expect
that to be fine. It's a '98, by the way.

terminals are tight, I just swapped the battery since I needed a side
post
in my RamCharger for the plow motor and the redtop in the Dakota had
one,
so the battery is new to the truck and about 4 years old. could
probably
clean the terminals and posts just to be sure.
gas is only 4 weeks old and I've never had issue with it, ran fine and
smooth when it ran, right down to 500RPM before it would die, so I think
fuel flow and quality are okay.
Haven't touched the ISS screw but I'll bet if I put it up to 800 RPM
this
problem would disapear. does 650 sound about right for a '98 318?
that's
where it's always been but maybe that's a bit low for it's age?
