Maybe bad temp sensor. Computer thinks it -40F and richens the fuel mixture. |

the ecu will idle high when its COLD out. near freezing, to help the engine warm up and keep a steady idle.
I think you're normal there.. the revs should go down to 1200 or less when the temp needle moves from pegged at cold. -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.
