i have looked through 22 pages of posts for high idle and didnt find a similar case... so here's a new one for the boards. everybody talks about low idle and stalling; so how about i bring up high idle. i live in Ohio: weather the last couple of week 2*to 32*F.
in the morning(5:30am) when i go to start up my 96 eb 4x4 it starts up fine in the freezing weather, but the idle will jump to 1800 then fall to about 1400 and stay there.. what is normal idle? when i put it in D the rpms go down to the 900-1000(the 400 rpm drop cant be good) range and off i go. Even if i let the car sit for 5-7 mins it will still idle at 1400 rpm's...i get to work and let it sit for 2hours and come back out to it. I start it up and it idles at 1400rpm... BUT if i drive it around and then put it in park it will idle normal at 900-1000rpm.
i just bought the EX so im a little nervous and on gaurd for any little thing that is out of place. is it just the cold weather playing around with my truck and me being over protective? has anyone else had a high idle at start up and it stayed there? by the way... who ever made this site has done a great job by bringing all the explorer owners together!
