Default fuel and idle. WTF!

every time i start my car it takes about 20 seconds of turning over to finally fire up. no idea why. it even did that at the dealer i bought it from. any ideas why???

my car idles at 1000rpm. is this normal. cause it seems kinda high for me. every other car i have ever owned usually idles at about 750ish. so is this normal. also when im coasting down the road and i pull it out of gear it idles at about 1600rpm till i get below 10mph. is that normal??? please help

Any codes? Someone could have gone in there and adjusted the idle speed hard to tell
