    When does this happen? If this is occurring on cold starts, this is normal. If this is happening when your car is hot...I dunno. Maybe your throttle cable is too tight. On our cars it's really rare to have a high idle, most of the time we get complaints about low idles.

    Mine does the same now that it's colder?? Idles at like 1500, then after a few minutes back down around the 800 mark. Think it's normal.

    I think the 4 bangers start up at around 2k rpm, and the V6s are at 1200 rpm.
