Irmo,

So everytime when I go to start my car it always idles high, like 1,500 rpms. It doesn't matter if the car is warm or cold. I can be out driving the car for 30+ minutes and when I go to a red light and drop into neutral the car revs up to 1,500 rpms. On occassion it will still sit where it used to at 1100 rpms.
Now at the same time, my car is running super cold, like hardly to the 1/4 mark on the gauge. And my heat is pathetic.
Do you think that my thermostat may be stuck open? Causing it to run cool and maybe kepping the auto enrichment system on? Or choke whatever causing it to run high because it is "trying" to warm up?
Could this be related to my poor heat?
I am really at a dead end with this. I can't figure it out. Please help.
