Just wondering what the rpm's should be on my stock marauder.it feels to be a little high when in gear.neutral is a lot lower.Is there an ideal rpm for the two? I wa playing around with the xcal and I am pretty sure I changed it accidently.

While we are on this subject. My Marauder just started going from regular idle (around 600-800 RPMS) to 1300 RPM's. What can I do to correct this? Up and down..

Could be sticking throttle body, IAC needs to be cleaned, IAC gasket bad.....

My idle is at 800 RPM in drive.

Just adjust it until it feels right to you. Don't worry what the actual numbers are.

I guess I also was looking to know if there is a big difference between neutral idle and in gear or if that should be close.right now it's set at maybe 725-750in neutral and 9250 to 1000 range in gear.

right now it's set at... 9250 to 1000 range in gear.Your car idles at 9250 RPM in gear???? That must make for awesome holeshots. :D
Are you the original owner? Possibly the PO had a tune with idle speeds adjusted...
Other than that, I agree with fastblackmerc...dirty throttle body or bad IAC valve.

I resolved problem .it was what I thought....I changed the setting and forgot to set it back the way it was on the tune I have from D.R.

Just a sugestion for the future, JLT makes a catch can ,under 100 dollars that connects in between the PCV line that collects any oil film blow by that can clog your intake and eventually reduce performance [the chrysler hemi boyz have the same fix ] JLT .com [ original cold intake company ]
