    Question Odd idling on cold starts

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    OK so i'm aware that on a cold start rpms are supposed to increase a little bit and idle higher for around 30 seconds or so. so in the summer my car idles high on a cold start and go to normal, then on a warm start rpms would be like normal and not increased. Now that it has gotten very cold here (-7C) i would think the normal thing to do is idle high on a cold start. but on a cold start in the winter it idles low. nd doe this quite often why is that? is this normal???

    Yes, normal. In cold conditions the engine will start right at normal idle (800 rpms)
