Yes, I have driven carburated (with manual choke) cars up until 2000. However, since then I have been driving fuel injected engines and I have never had this sort of high-idle (choke-like) when cold as this one seems to have. I agree that it's probably not a big deal, and if it's normal, i'm fine with it. Just want to make sure that it is. Dealer seems to think it's abnormal. I don't know what to make of it yet.
