Can't find anything definitive on this. I have a 2001 3.0L V6 that I got a couple weeks ago. When stopped at traffic lights it feels like it's vibrating a lot so I used a scanner to check some metrics.

Cold starting the engine and letting it idle in park for 10 minutes:
RPM: ~900
Calc Load: 37%
TPS: 16.5%

Is anything here out of the ordinary? The Throttle Position Sensor reads always at 16.5% when closed.
 
37% load at idle not in gear seems excessive to me, but IDK what normal is...
