[DML] Re: High idle (2600 rpm) until temp hits 180 degrees

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I see you are having fun getting your car going! Could be a sticky throttle linkage to a bad control pressure regulator. Check out the simple and obvious stuff first. You are correct, it should not idle so high even cold. Vacuum leaks can also be a problem.

Lately, it takes about 5 minutes after a cold start before my D warms up to 180 degrees and then the idle lowers itself to about 800-900 rpm.  I don't recall this ever happening to me in years past.  Thanks!
