Have you tried cleaning the IAC valve?

it not wrong for that to happen it's like a choke but the computer regulates it, in conjuction with the iac vale and tps sensor, you should not rev the engine until it has had a few minutes to get a little warmed up and you shouldn't drive it hard until your into the normal range.

yeah man that is what its suppose to least i think so, mine does it fer a few minutes depending on tha temp outside, it does it at about 1100 then drops to bout 800 er so then i take it easy fer tha first couple of km to let it get warmed up.
