Some of these engines are equipped with a "high idle" switch which raises the rpm's. Lacking that you can use the throttle once the air pressure comes up enough to make the air throttle work. Around 1000rpm is sufficient.

Let's not make ourselves crazy here. If you are caught in stop-n-go traffic you are going to do a lot of idling or near idling. The engine will suffer a tiny bit but you will never notice. That said, the very real threat to these engines is overheating. You can get away with idling, you won't with overheating.

I completely understand what you are saying. I don't get myself crazy about idling but I try to keep an eye on it when I can. When you in a parking lot situation there is NOTHING you can do.

Mine has a little switch on the dash . . . .

Ha! That what it was AIR COMP....now it makes complete sense, I guess that I'm overthinking it, today, just today found out where the high beam switch is Smile don't laugh.....but I feel that some things are there and they are not used at all (or they don't work in my coach Tongue) like the turn signals switch that you can rotate (on top of move forward and backward, up and down) into three different positions, but they don't do anything on mine.
