2004 Camry that revs high in In park

Topic starter

Hey Scotty, I got a 2004 Camry LE with 128,000 miles. It’s been garaged for most of its life but passed down to me and I love it but when I first start it up, it revs at around 1500 RPM in park/neutral but not in any other gear. It also revs high when I turn the steering wheel. This only lasts for about 2 minutes and my car has nothing lit up on the dash. What could be wrong? (P.S. I live a couple miles from Norton MA, I’m 16 and would love to meet you, how could I?)

What you’re describing is perfectly normal behaviour for a car which is programmed to have a high idle on a cold start up.

After a few minutes, the tachometer should settle back down to ~800 rpm. If it does, you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

All the best!

That is pretty normal but if you're worried you could do my video make your car run better with a little spray cleaner.
