i have an ls/vtec in my eg6 hatch..just got the swap done no more then a week ago.. everytime i warm up the car when i first start it, the engine IDLES at 1500k then drops to 1k after like 3 mins or so... not sure if thats normal, but i always thought the idle drops below 1k like at least 8 or 9k? or do i just need to retune it again?.... need some answers..thanks guys!

is this only in the morning..?? or all the time?

always in the morning and the weather is cold too by the way and when i dont use the car for hours..say like 4 or more hours...i assume i just need to retune right?

i dunno if those have a FITV but if it does and the FITV isnt closing all the way it can cause you to idle higher.

of course getting it tuned isnt a bad idea neither

lol my friend with a ls vtec in his crx his idle bounces around from about 800 to 1300 every 2 seconds, and he just ignores it. says hes tried everything. besides that it runs great.

well my car idles at 2000 rpm when its ***** *** cold outside and casually moves down in intervals to under 1k after warmed up.

it used to idle around 1100 and stopped after an oil change, i dunno why it did that but who cares its working. it doesn't sound like much of a problem to me. plus its cold as *** outside
