How long until these cars kick off the high idle? Mine seems to idle around 1500 rpm's for at least a half hour of solid driving, and then it eventually will go down to 750 - 800 rpm's. Is there a fix for this or is that normal? I just started driving the car everyday about a week ago.

It sounds like it could have something to do with the thermowax and fast idle cam.

What does that mean? Do I need a new motor or what?

That's just minor crap on the throttle body.

mine stay up at about 1k rpms for about 5-10 mins on cold days...half an hours sounds like a long time...like 13bace said, it shouldnt be a big deal...doesnt hurt the engine.

My car always idles at 1K, but that's because I have big injectors.

I have a pretty mild port, but my turbo makes up for it.
