cold idle

is a cold idle step-up valve really needed? it is there just to get the engine hot as soon as possible for all the emission devices (like the cat) to start functioning?

Personally, no. Mine idles at 1500 from a cold start..... I usually am at operating temp in about a mile and a half... Just let the engine idle for about a minute before touching the pedal, you'll be okay
