engine runs too cold
reading another thread reminded me of what happens if my car sits for 5 hours. the temperature gauge needle is at C for cold, and my engine revs at about 1500rpms. when i drive it, it warms up and the rpms at idle drop down. is this also the tps or what?
edit: this started happening after i let that one mechanic change my rear valve spring gasket, that took a week. stupid expensive moron.

Its supposed to drop down. It idles high when its cold to warm itself up. Once it warms up past the C line, the idle drops down to normal. Or if its cold it'll go up to 1500 and when you put it in drive it'll go down to about 1000 until it warms up completey and it goes down to about 700 or so. Your perfectly normal. Dont let anyone fool you and take your money.
