I have a 2003 v6 Toyota Solara with 170,000 miles. Running well except for very loud and high idle at startup until warm. Let it warm up? Anything I can do?
High idle (1800-2000rpm) is fairly typical on a cold, fuel injected engine. I know everybody will disagree with me but I don't drive or put any load on any vehicle I own until it reaches normal, operating temperature. Bring it!
Do you mean weight or reving the engine over 3000 rpm?
I don't understand your question. What does weight have to do with anything?
His question sounds straightforward to me. He's asking you to define "load" practically.
I know that warming up can be more harm than good, but
Neither do I, I always let my cars warm up before I begin driving. 🙂
I guess that by load, the meaning is how hard you press on the gas.
It's the weight of waiting.
I just in general let my cars warm up before starting to drive; I'm not in a rush so it won't hurt letting it warm up a bit. Older cars I go by time and newer ones some of them have a small light that turns off when the engine warms up enough.
