Hi All,
When I start my car from cold, the engine revs and idles at approx 1500 rpm and stays there for about 20/30secs before dropping down to about 800rpm.
Not a biggie but was wondering if any other owner of a P400 (not the P400e) has the same behaviour? Spoke to the dealer and their response was it's normal because it cold and it's like having the choke on. I mentioned that it was a fuel injected engine and not at all like engines of 40+ years ago, but dealer insists it's normal. I haven't been able to compare to any other P400 hence my question.
I'm not convinced it's correct behaviour but would be interested to know if anyone else's has the same behaviour.
When starting the engine when already warm (e.g. after a short stop etc), it's fine and idles immediately at approx 800 rpm.
Thanks in advance.
