The idle speed when cold is way to high on my MY00 it's at least 1700 rpm can you change this if so how?

I guess it could be changed as part of a ECU remap, but why worry it soon settles down to more normal levels.

Yes thanks for the advice might leave it if other people say it's quite normal. Also sorry for putting it in general section I see post was moved to technical.

I find that after 30 seconds or so, if you gently "tap" the loud pedal, it rises a little then drops to about 1100 rpm. I little less embarrasing at those traffic lights just round the corner lol

Its normal, if you mess with it using deltadash then the hot idle will be low, the ecu deliberatlety raises the idle to compensate for a stone cold engine, "they, and alot of other car makes, all do that sir"
