Default Why is my car idle funny?

When I start my car, its starts from normal idle speed (1000) and slowly go up to cold idle (1600) and then when its really warming up it goes back down slowly.

That is what it is supposed to do. Automatic choke takes it a little below two grand on my car when cold outside then is drops down to 850 I advanced my timing so yours might be a little lower.

this is normal and there are a few reasons for it.

fast idles when cold warm the engine up faster, the oil is pumped at a higher pressure than regular idle (helps it get around better when the oil is cold) and there are a few other reasons.

Check the throttle linkage. A loose linkage will definitely effect your idle.

...In addition, check with your owners manual (i think) or your mechanic (Honda / Acura) for a proper idle.
