Start Up High Idle
Every time I start up my 1994 SE the idle goes up to around 2500 RPMs and then drops down to its normal idle. It does this whether warm or cold. First, do you consider 2500 RPMs to be normal or too high and second, what part controls this?

Mine is routinly above 1500. It has settled down some recently after some AFC tuning, between 1100 and 1500 when it'* warm, but if it gets any lower it likes to die.

I've tried doing that. Leaving the ignition on for up to two minutes, then turning it off then starting the engine. Should I start the engine without turning it off first?

Thanks for all the replies. Sounds like the general consensus is that this is normal. I`ll try disconnecting the battery just to see if it changes anything. I guess at 174,000 miles I should probably just be happy that it still runs.
