Cold Start Idle Speed

Recommended Posts

My wife's 2000 RX300 FWD [ 55,000 miles ] idles at about 1500-1700 RPM when it's first started when cold. The idle-speed slowly comes down to about 500-600 RPM after about 5 minutes but that seems to be a longer period of time than in the past. It's kept in the garage overnight so the temperature remains pretty constant [ about 60-70 degrees ]. I don't remember it idling that high in the past and it seems real hard on the engine-mounts, transmission, etc. Maybe that's why it needed a new " dogbone " recently. Any ideas? Thanks.
