thats the warm-up revs kicking in...u can disable it by blipping the gas pedal.....

It shouldnt be at 3k for that long, it should only shoot up for a second or two (little smoke is fine) then drop to 1500 and gradually go down until its fully warmed up at 750.

Yep your accelerated warm up system.

midnight_7

it depends how long u let it sit cold. when i go overnight, the next day itll go about 5 seconds then drop. but if was driving then had lunch then started the car again, it would go for a sec or 2 then drop.

The white puffs could indicate the seals are going. That's quite a bit of miles and this is usually about the time. It goes away after a bit though because they heat up and expand. I'm sure that's what you are experiencing.

yes, it is normal forit to rev up to 3k. It is a little rough on the motor so just tap the gas pedal a bit to idle it down to 1.5k rpm right away. High mileage motors will smoke a bit on start-up also, no big deal, it is also normal.

If you start the car with the shifter in gear, but the clutch depressed, you override the cold start system, and it idles immediatley.

or just take off the cold start if u live in a warm enough area.... say florida
