when i warmup my car in the morning the idle is rough and then smooths out to 700 rpm's. is this normal???

 

yes

 

try adjusting your air bleed valve also... get your rpms up to around 750-800

 

got any pics of where the air bleed valve is located?? thanks

 

my new mazda reman motor does that in the morning too.

 

cool, i have never driven another 7 or know anybody else with one, so i was not sure if it was normal or not. i decided not to ask the dealer because today when i went to drop off my car for the brake booster hose recall, i went to the parts to ask for the price of a new oil pressure sender and he told me to sell the car because they are unreliable cars and parts cost too much. what nice customer service!!! one less thing to worry about

 

I see the crappy running upon start up as the number 1 reason to warm the car up before driving it. Everytime I go somwhere, I wait until she's good and ready.
