hi, my 1995 toyota celica GT is starting up at 200 revs..is this normal as it gets colder outside or does it suggest a problem somewhere? can i turn the revs down or is that not a good idea. any help would be much appriciated.
thanks


that should say 2000 reves on start up..

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

yeah that crossed my mind. anyway of testing it?? the revs do go down when the car is up to temp. its also had a new thermostat and change of coolant:-)

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.

mines has been at 1700-1900a at start up since its been cold out here lately
it drops as the car warms up
so its nothing to worry about it just helps the car heat up

mine idle higher when it's warmer, but usually not around 2000rpm.

off topic; are you from hull, mass? cause I'm from right around the area

all the celica i had did that, it goes to 1800 rpm at start at cold,

Ive owned 3 running celicas. thy all idled a little less than 1800 on a COLD start

yes i am from hull:-)...well just outside hull..

its starting at 2000rpm when cold then only dropping down to about 1100-1200rpm when fully warmed up:-( it used to drop right down to 900rpm so i'm guessing there is a problem or am i barking up the wrong tree??
anyting i can try? can i manually knock the revs down when its started up??

oh and am i going to be using more fuel??
