Are there any codes? Could be a cold start control concern or could be normal. All vehicles will run at a high idle when first started to allow the engine to warm quicker

In the old days, we called it a "choke."  Nowadays, the computer raises the idle rpm to compensate for the rich mixture required to start the engine.  What will they think of next?
