Not that high. I would guess between 2000 and 2500. I love these forums. You guys have put my mind at ease a couple times now. I am sorry if I am appearing to be a newb.

I am more comfortable knowing this is a common occurance.

I had Brent at Brenspeed lower my cold start rpms to 1200. It used to be around 1800-2000. He adjusted my tune accordingly and emailed it to me. I downloaded it onto my tuner and then into my car. Now, the car isn't screaming when I first start it in the morning.

When it was in the 60-70's here in Austin, TX a month ago, mine would idle up to 1.5k for about 20 seconds at most then settle down to 800.

Now that the average temp in the morning is 30-40 degrees, it takes MUCH longer to idle down. More like 1-2 minutes...

Yep, I do. Though it annoys me that I have to wait another 60 seconds to get my babe out of the driveway now [8D].

Whats wrong with that? I love that haha...When mine is cold and I start her up, it hovers at around 1600-1800 for about 30-60 seconds, then drops to 1000...then finally to around 900rpm. When I first start up in the morning, she screams "good morning" to the whole neighborhood haha

Yes she does!!! By the time it idles down in my parking garage, all the car alarms on the next two levels are going off. I don't know what those idiots' motion sensors are set at but it's freakin annoying.

Sounds normal. I get 1400-1500 rpm at 20F and it takes roughly 1-2 minutes to drop to roughly 875 rpm.
Which is when I takeoff. In warmer weather itraises the rpm less and drops faster.

So is it bad that I start coasting down the driveway befor she idles down? I see a couple replies that it takes time before they get going.
