Engine imediately revs at 3000rpm at cold start

Hi again, guys.
after I solved my TPS problem, now I have another one, that is when the car is completely cold, it emidiately revs at 3000rpms when I start it and then after a few seconds, it drops t 1200rpms and when it's warm, lows to 700rpm. I also notice a certain turbulence that shakes the car a little bit at 1200rpm and I also hear some "clicking" in the engine bay, like a switch turning on or off... perhaps from a solenoid or a valve. I don't know if these clicks are usual in these cars, maybe some one can explain it to me.
Thanks

That is factory programmed. It is to light of the cats for cold start emissions. You can avoid this by starting the car in gear.

It's called the "Accelerated Warm-up System" or AWS. As mentioned, start with the clutch depressed but in gear, or simply blip the throttle to cancel it.
Having the engine immediately rev like on cold start isn't good but it's hard to remove AWS on the stock ECU. Removing the selenoid will cause a Check Engine Light.

Hi guys! I thank you all for the free lecture... I'm a newer in this kind of engine/car, so any explanation is very welcome! Thanks.

The clicking is probably the BAC valve and normal. It cycles constantly to adjust the idle for things like air conditioning.
