3k warmup
im worred about my car, normally when i start it, it imeadtly revs up to 3k from a cold start. for some reason, now it doesnt. it will rev up, but only to about 2k, and its slow getting there. could the cold weather be causing this? and is this a problem? i hope im just paranoid.

Mine has always done that... sometimes it will do the full 3k warmup... sometimes not at all... and I think sometimes only up to 2k... I think it may be dependent on a few factors(engine temp, oil pressure... dont know)

The AWS activates sometimes, but not always, when you have a cold engine. Not sure why but that's what I get. I usually tap the gas when the engine starts to lower the idle. Consider it a blessing...

the car runs normal after the warmup. is it hurting the car by not going to 3k at warmup? idle is about 100-150rpm low when warm. i had a compression check done, and the guy said thats why it idles a little low.
