sw4mpthing Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 noticed that when I start my car first thing the revs start to climb. I remember this happening in the last one I had. Is this normal and why? and should I sit and wait for the revs to drop before I drive off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanc Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I just asked this question a while ago as well. If the revs is around 1.8k I guess its normal since your engine is cold. I had it a couple of times in the morning (when engine is cold) and I give it around 5 minutes before driving off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy07 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I get this too and always try and leave it until it settles down to a nice idle before i set off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 its just the automatic choke. aslong as you drive gently and sensibly until your temps and pressures are up itl be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSK Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 AFAIK, all sports Toyota's do this, rev higher at cold start at around 1,600-1,800rpm, as the temp rises the revs (auto choke) will back off accordingly. Mine only takes about 2 minutes maximum to get to normal operating temperature and I drive off after 20 seconds. I usually leave for work at 5:15am but on the occasions I have had to take the Supra I have felt sorry for the neighbours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 It's normal and no, you don't have to wait to drive it. Just start the key and the car is ready to drive, it'll take care of itself, just don't go hitting the rev limiter out of your drive The service manual also states that the car is okay to drive immediately after starting.
