2000rpm first start in the morning

[esp22]

Does anyone else have this and then the revs slowly go down..or just me?

Thanks

Its called cold start & its normal.....dont worry yourself.

[Mr Nasa]

this means your car is working perfeclty normal!!
generally let it sit for a few secs before you head off too, and once you finish your trip just let it idle for 20 secs or so!!!

Auto choke been around since adam was a tadpole....

[Mr Nasa]

i remeber the day when i used to start the car for mum/dad and pull out the old choke!!

[pHiLix]

Yes this is completely normal, happens on cold starts only.

[Mr Nasa]

dito!!

[shakespeare]

Perfectly normal and just about all makes of cars behave like this, something to do with emissions and getting the engine to running temp quickly I believe! If it doesn't settle down to normal RPM within a few minutes then something is not right, get it checked, otherwise don't worry

kk...i knew it was normal just 2000rpm seemed it by high compared to my other cars...thanks

[nissanman]

I do agree, this is the highest revving cold start i have seen! But again, very normal

My good ol 1970 cortina, still manual choke... its actually FUN to start the car!

[TheJunglist]

yea mine does it. where do ppls car sit at normal idle? just curious

[mech81]

mine does the same at startup as well. At idle its around 900rpm mark...depending on whether the climate control is on

[Robbo]

yeah mine starts around 2000rpm, used to have a celica that did that same so don't worry about it

drops to about 900rpm when settled then

[nissanman]

Ok so i timed mine this morning....... lol

28 seconds to get to 1,500rpm... about another 25 seconds to get to 1,000rpm
(AMB TEMP= 26 degrees @ 7:45am Adelaide)

Being pedantic... yes

[Nirvandan]

Yup normal, mine starts at almost 4000rpm.

Yup normal, mine starts at almost 4000rpm.

Neighbours must love you in the morning

[Nirvandan]

...they used to love me until I got the exhaust.

[MISSMPS]

4000rpm would be so loud...as mine is wake up the neighbours at 6.30am loud at 2500rpm but damn yours would sound sweet

[Nirvandan]

I was messing around about the 4000rpm ...that would be insane for a start up, still pretty loud at almost 2000rpm.

They can always move if they want, im not stoping them
