High Idle - Cold Start Warmup
High Idle - Cold Start Warmup Anybody familiar with how are cars are programmed to handle cold start warm ups. My car tends to idle at about 1K when it is cold and stays there it seems until the car goes to Open Loop, aka fully warmed up. I can understand the high idle when it is really cold, but this morning it was about 30, note I keep my car in the garage as well, and I was at high idle for most of my 8 mile drive to work.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
John

LOL, wait what? Squeaky diesel? I am glad I don't have that!! I have never had a car that holds high idle as much as this thing does, but it seems to be holding it more than normal this winter so I was just curious.
Seems normal, goes away after warming up.
I remote start it in the garage for a few minutes before I go out there, but still it takes a while for the motor to get fully warmed up and since I only drive about 20ish minutes of stop and go it usually doesn't fully warm up until I am about at work.

Same cold start idle, right around 1k until she's warmed up.

Okay so today I watched it again and it came down from 1k much faster than yesterday, and according to the car it was actually a few degrees colder today. Yesterday the car didn't come down from idling at 1k until the car was fully warmed up, today it came down after only warming up about halfway...
I think this is more related to the length of time the car sits. Which is strange to me.
