My '95 T has a high idle when i first start it cold. It idles at about 1500 rpm at first and then gradually goes down to the normal 800-900 as it warms up to normal operating temperature. Is this normal? What could be wrong?

 

thats normal. don't worry about it

 

Tell tale signs of a blown headgasket.

 

Normal, air temperature seems to change the idle speed at first startup for me, higher when its colder....

 

Normal

 

I hope you're kiddin'

 

perfectly normal. mine will even jump to about 2k on excessivly cold mornings. i.e. 30degrees and colder.

 

I'm Kidding......

 

Thanks just wanted to make sure it wasn't out of the ordinary.

 

The initial high idle is also a good time to listen and find out if your fan clutch is working. On initial startup, you should hear the fan roar for 10-20 seconds regardless of ambient temp.

 

yeah roar meaning mine sounds the loudest on the street haha.
