Yep.. most likely for cat-converter fast light off..

 

The manual doesn't state what the RPM should be when started, but it does say that it will be "high". The following is from the manual:

"Cold engine idle speed is high, so use
caution when shifting into a forward or
reverse gear before the engine has
warmed up."

 

LOL. I know, I know, I should read the manual cover to cover, but I work three jobs and have not had a chance to actually sit and read the thing--I have been doing spot reading when I need to know something right away.

I did notice the one time I did not wait to let it warm up and I put the car in reverse, it defenitely snapped the car and reverse speed was very fast.

Thanks

 

hell, i work one job and i barely have time to sit down. its either driving around or sitting and reading.....

 

Mine starts up @ 1600 and then comes down to ~850 once it's warm. (I had the dealer turn it up a few hundred for my flywheel) As for the 2k, that sounds normal if it's cold enough. Mornings in Phoenix are still ~50 these days.

 

Mine starts up at ~2200 RPMs, then I let my foot off the clutch and it drops to ~1900. It doesn't take more then about 10-15 seconds to get to about 900 or so. That's pretty much the amount of time it takes me to fiddle with sunglasses and other stuff.

 

About 2000 RPM here, then it drops to about 1300, it's been about -20*C the last few days here...

 

Mine starts at 1900 RPM and after 30 seconds or so it drops to 1200 RPM.
