does the car idle go back to nornal once the car is warmed up ??

Check your throttle cable. Could be to tight opening the throttle valve

i had this problem with my car and just fixed it... i replaced what i think is called the Fast Idle Air Valve its a part attached to the throttle body which has coolant lines hooked up to it.. it allows the car to have additional air while warming up and when the coolant reaches a certain temp it closes the valve. atleast i believe thats how it works. anyway have it replaced and it should start up fine. The ISC motor is connected to this peice.
