yeah, most engines do this in order to heat things up quicker. It is normal for the engine to idle on start up a bit higher than it does after it is warmed up, especially in the winter but at the same time, 1700rpms is pretty high. When I start mine up in the morning, it will stay around 1000-1100rpms for a minute or two, then drop to normal idle.
