idle @ 1500 rpm > just sounds abnormally high > used to idle @ 600 rpm
what could be causing this problem ??? > need advice to correct situation

 

mine starts at 1.8k RPM
then it sits at 800 RPM when it's warm

 

its normal when its cold, just let it reach operating temp and it should be idling just fine

 

hmm, dont all cars rev high usually above 1k so the car warms up quicker, after your car warms up its should be fine, if it doesnt than you have a problem

 

umm its warming up

 

thats normal for a cold start... as the motor warms up/reaches operating temp the idle goes down...

 

i have the same problem too?? it's not that cold at my area in fact it's hot and humid. where do i start?? thermostat?

 

it doesnt matter if its 100 degrees outside.. if the car is not at operating temp (motor is not warm/hot from running previously) its going to idle high until the temp starts to climb and it reaches operating temp... if you notice.. even right after driving it at operating temp.. running into the store for 5 minutes.. then starting back up.. the RPM's are pretty high.. then the computer/sensors tell it that the motor is already warm/and the idle lowers itself down...

 

It says in the manual somewhere that you shouldn't let your car just sit and warm up. It says that you should just GO!!! I think it saves gas or something.

 

If it has been sitting overnight, I always let the car idle for at least 30 seconds, or until idle drop below 1500rpm (only when cold outside), whichever is longer.
