in new york weather 38 deg. just did a head gasket, new spark plugs, car hasnt been started in about 2 months, i started it up sounds ok so far, only let it run for about 30-40 sec then kinda got shook cause it was idling high, it was idling at like 3300-3600. is that normal, i have no check engine light on so all the sensors are working properly...what you guys think?

 

i get cold start idle at 2k idk if thats bad my reg idle when warm is 1k

 

its about normal since it hasn't been driven for about 2 months, and in cold weather. When the car is completely warmed up, does it idle at 800-1000? When I start up my car for the 1st time during the day it idles at 2500 rpm, then drops down to 800

 

i havent even let it warm up yet, i got shook alittle shook when i saw the idle jump that high, since its cold i didnt want to damaged any valves or anything, i know the timing is right im just nervous cause i dumped too much money into this car to have it blow up lol...

 

let im warm up completely then post what the idle is then

 

alright, ill let you know, thanks for the feedback, always appreciated, what kind of car/motor do you haVE?
