I am selling my 1991 N/T talon on the classified section on here. there is nothing major wrong with the car but the trans. that is not ever really a big deal. the reverse gear just pops out when to much pressure is applied. but i didn't make this tread about that. my question is my car has a Choppy idle when it is cold. if you let it sit overnight and you go out in the morning and start it the car will go up to about 2000 RPM and then will bobbly from 1700 to 2000, and it does this for about a min and then goes down to a normal idle. i just wanted to prove the person that is interested in it that this is not really a problem, and that it is a common thing on DSM's. so what i am looking for is people to confim this for the potental buyer. i just want a few people to confirm what i am saying so the guy has more opions that may not be modist.
 
I just got my 92 Talon and it does the same thing. My buddy told me it's normal, the engine just idles high until it warms up, as long as it stabilizes at around 750 without surging.
 
yeah that is excacly what my car does. its just that it goes yup just a little bit to far and the IAC gets it and puts it back down to around 1700 then when it goes back up to around 2000 the IAC kicks in, and puts it down.... as soon as it warms up a little bit the car goes down to about 800 (taking a guess) and doesn't bobble at all. just wanted to make sure it was ok... :thumb:
