That's actually pointing at 400rpm! I think it should idle at between 750-850rpm (from memory, my 1993 WRX idles between 800-850). Thing is, your tach might not be all that accurate(?).
At 400rpm, it'll prob feel like it'll want to stall - do you 'feel' that it wants to? Does your foot instinctively hover over the throttle ready to blip, etc.?

Normal hot idle is specified as 800+-50 if I remember right. You can change the idle speed electronically via a select monitor (or emulator) but assuming there's nothing wrong with your oil pump to start with, there's no need.
