Yes, your 9k should idle around 900rpm. The idle will be rough if it is at 750. It sounds to me like either your base idle is set too low or you AIC system isn't working. What hapens when you turn on your AC? Also, try pinching the hose going from the AIC valve to the intake manifold (the AIC is a gold looking thing in middle of intake manifold with a wire connector and a couple of hoses.) The idle should drop even lower (but I bet it won't.) Try smacking the AIC valve somewhat gentle with a hammer or wrench, see if the idel comes up. I'd also remove it (very easy) and spray it out with some carb cleaner or WD40. If nothing hapens then try setting base idle using the Townsned link below.
Good luck,
Craig
