Default When My civic is cold the REV in neutral are higher?

I live in San Francisco here the temp during the summer is around 50F at night, well I just bought My Honda so this might be a stupid question but I realized that when I start the car in the mourning the Revolution are about 1750 RPM in neutral after the engine warm the revolution in neutral are about 1200 RPM is this normal?. I have a 1998 HX civic (mechanic).

If the car is warmed up to operating temp it should be less than 1k rpm.

I'm going to check tomorrow if it less than 1k RPM but my worry is that RPM are higher when the car is cold, is that normal?

its very normal for the idle to be high when the motor is cold.

I have the same problem with my hatch whenever I start it. Mine reaches 1500 when start but will eventually raise down below 1k after warm up.

It's called a fast idle, and yes it is normal after a cold start. All cars do this.

California is just never "cold" enough for a "cold start."

I once had a 91 vw golf, that thing in the cold would idle at 2.5 some times 3k rpm's. Normal warm weather rpm's were around 1.5 or 2.5k RPM's I kinda ruined it takin it off road. lol!
