LEAN, you need to get it fixed bro. The longer you wait the more your engine is getting fu#ked up. Running to lean leads to much bigger problems.

Let me clarify the exhaust noises; it's not so much a popping, more of a gurgling.

Cold start high rev is totally normal...as long as it eventually drops down. It's kind of like a "choke" from the old school days.

Have you checked for a vacuum leak in the intake/hose, etc?
