Type R Idle speed just after a cold start?

craggyislander · 23rd November 2007, 11:39

Hi Guys

Loving my Type-R however when started from being parked up overnight it revs at about 2000 revs for the first min or two then drops down to below 1000. (only does this from first thing cold start and I never touch the accelerator when starting it)

Does your Type-R do this as well?

Thanks in advance!

Yep. Guess it needs to get nice, warm and cozy before it will give you all the nice bits
