when i first start my car the rpms go up to about 2000 and then as the car gets warm it goes to 800 and stays perfect?

any ideas? just a choke?
 
That's what it is supposed to do. All cars idle high when started cold and idle down as they warm up.
 
Actually that sounds more like the isc or a leak. Maybe even the ecu but it seems from your picture that you are from a colder region so I would say that a high idle(via the fiav valve) is normal but, maybe not THAT high. Have you checked for leaks and tested your isc?
 
i always thought it was suppose to do that since its in an open loop until it gets warmed up and turns into a closed loop
 
so i adjusted the BISS, and nothing. still same thing.

when cold, and started idle runs about 2000 rpms, and goes lower once it gets warmed up(750-800rpm)

maybe TB needs cleaned? it didn't used to idle at 2000 rpm then drop to 750.

it always used to idle when started at about 1000-1100 then drop to 750.

any ideas guys?
