93 del sol: where's the choke **** ?
Got your attention didn't it ....
When i start up first thing on a cold cold morning the engine idles at 2100rpm till it starts to warm up, about 2-3 minutes, seems much too fast though. It runs fine, a/c idles up ok, idles at 650 when warm, no other probl;ems or codes set, just runs way too fast when cold started.
Is there an ajustment for cold start idle speed without efecting the regular idle ?

I dont think there is any specific way to do what you are talking about, as far as something you can adjust.

If you hadn't noticed, all cars have a fast warm-up cycle. If you think 2100 RPM is bad on a fast warm up, go drive a RX-7. My 87 would fast warm-up at 3500 RPM for about a minute, then drop to 1500, then to 800. Also, if you haven't really driven any other cars, there's a reason that a lot of people love Hondas in the winter. My Accord would be at operating temperature in approximately 3/4 of a mile without letting it sit to warm up. My girlfriend's EK is the same way.

for some reason, my 92 with a gsr motor takes about 3-5 minutes before warming up...its fast idle is at about 1.5k rpm, however my ol' b16 hatch would fast idle at 2.1-2,3k rpm, and with the loud exhaust it sounded brutal starting it like that in the cold...just remember we drive Hondas, they can take it!
