augustsky3 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 New-to-me 2009 Forester. I am noticing that immediately after startup, it wants to idle around 1100-1200rpm. If I lightly press the throttle and release, it settles down closer to 700-800 and stays there for the most part. Is this an abnormality, or some kind of tactic to warm the engine faster on a cold start? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forester2002s Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 My 2002 Forester 5MT does the same, and has since it was new. I think that it's normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 yes, it is normal for it to do that. The idle will drop on its own as it warms up. Every Subaru I have owned has done this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
