Sounds like your fast idle system's going nuts on you...Try pulling at least one of the wiring connectors off of the temp switch in the lower left corner of the radiator, see if that helps (it should prevent the ECU from going to a fast idle)...If it doesn't help, you've got idle issues relating to mechanical linkage (throttle plates stuck a little, or fast idle cam being out of whack somehow), or something else weird going on...

picts of sister?
oh...
accellerated warm up system may have been going nuts on you. Its normal for the car to rev high when you first start it like that. It will kick down to aoround 2.0-2.5krpm after about 15-20 seconds or so. After a couple minutes it should idle fine right around 800ish.
