Hi all, I just bought a 2005 Corolla LE this past weekend and love it. However, this morning I started it up to go to work and the RPMs seemed high, like in the mid 2k range, at idle. I didn't have time to investigate cause I had to get to work. Is this normal? It was about 65 degrees this morning and I live in Las Vegas if that matters. Also, i've got 92 miles on it and have be following the break-in procedure. Thanks

It has an automatic choke to warm your car up quicker... its totally normal. It will take a minute or two, then will settle and idle at about 1000 rpm.
