I noticed this recently that when I start my car in the morning the RPM goes up to 2100 and slowly comes down. I have never seen it go up so high with out putting my feet on the accelerator. Is this normal for winter cold start?

normal

 

my 35 did that. it's cold in Dallas right now. might test in the morning. shouldn't be anything to worry about.

 

Yep normal. I also let it sit for a few minutes to warm up before driving away.

 

thx guys

 

very normal. during the day my car rpm goes under 1 fast but at night i have to wait forever for it to go under 1 so i have to sit there all alone in the dark in a bad neighborhood

 

^^ so you have to make a decision just like everything in life. preserve your engines life and virginity or start that bitch up and bone the hell outta there with your car and life.
Plus you live in La. i would feel safe sleeping in my car, but im from the bestcoast the westcoast Cali son. :]

 

In the morning, mine hovers at around 1400-1500RPM. I wait until it hits about 1100 before I go. I park in the garage too, so it may be higher if you're outside.

 

how long are you supposed to let the car warm up, on a cold start? and regular startups

 

The best way to warm up is to drive slowly.

 

umm i just run the engine untill it drops below 1000rpm and drive slowly for about a min.

 

^^^^ yup thats the way to do it

 

thats nuts!!! i got my G in spokane and it doesnt have a block heater ( LONG STORY BUT IM GETTING ONE NEXT WEEK) but today was -16 degrees C and upon cold start up my engine revs around 1300 RPM then drops, without my block heater i usually let it sit at least for 10 mins... I dont know why some of urs are shootin about 2 grand? or maybe mines F'd ???

 

^^ I know mine was at 1300 first 11 months (oct to aug) and now its shooting up 2100rpm... thats y i flipped. Now other ppl said its normal... i guess i dont have to worry... my temperture dropped 20 degrees F from aug.

btw I thought i had something to do with my hfc...

 

thats really weird seeing as u went through the colder months of nov dec jan feb... i think those are the colder months in Socal??? maybe just give the service ppl a call at infiniti to be sure, never hurts to call!
