2012 Accord Cold Idle 2.4L
I know the idle will be fast when cold but I am not sure for how long it should stay above 1000 RPM.
The accord goes to about 1800 RPM right after start up then after a few minutes goes to about 1200 RPM.
I started driving and it seems harder to stop the car since the idle is high.
Once the engine is hot the idle does go to normal but until then it stays at 1200 RPM.
What I am concerned about is putting the car in drive when the idle is still over 1000 RPM.
How long is normal for the engine idle to be above 1000 RPM when going from cold to normal temp?
