Idle problem
Idle problem
When i start the car the rpm shoots up to 2000 rpm and slowly comes down to 1000 rpm and stays there. Usually happens in the morning and after i drive the car and start it again it will work fine. Any advice on what it might be Thnks in advance
yes it's normal. although your idle should be closer to 850, if it's not then clean your throttle bodies for some reassurance. but yes, when you start the car it idles high until it's lubricated and warmed up. no need to worry.

That's because 95* is still a cold engine.

Just got my 35xS back from the shop because the idle was erratic and the SES was on. Come to find out, both MAF's were reading out of range (they think the previous owner had installed K&N's or equivalent and the oil damaged the MAF's) and there was a TSB out for high idle. They flashed the ECM with new software. Runs beautiful now. Luckily the car is still under factory warranty.
