This is dumb. When you turn on the car it's usually at 1500rpm+. Why you ask, the engine isn't warmed up and is running rich to heat up faster. After it warms up, temp needle goes to middle, it's at a lower RPM, ahhh. Did you notice that?

Mine is about 1.2 - 1.5k depending on how cold it is and how long it has been sitting. From my experience every car is like this.

Haha. Once when I replaced the clamp on where the resonator connects to the throttle body I placed it where the throttle got stuck. Soon as I hit a certain RPM the thing got stuck at wide open. Took me a couple minutes to realize that I didn't completly ruin my car.

And 1500 rpm at start up is normal.

He gets fired up easily.

Mine idles high like 2K to 2.5K at start-up but I have a problem with the IAC valve, I think I need a new one.

This is nothing to worry about, but mine runs at 1100rpm unless its below 30 degrees or so, then it starts around 1400....
