My car has been idling a little on the high side when I start her up in the morning.
To me its normal for the car to idle at around 1500 rpm when started copld, then drop to 750 when warmed.
When I start my car, it idles at 1500 for a few seconds, then slowly rises to 2000-2100 rpm for about 30 seconds then slowly goes down to hot idle as it warms up.
What can be causing this? And how normal is it?

My 95 GST does the same thing, even in the summer so I am assuming it's pretty normal.
