Just read about TB cleaning, and inspired me to ask this.
On startup, hot or cold, I get an initial high idle, up to around 1800 rpm's. This happens immediately when engine starts, and then idles right down.
This has done this since new in '04. Dealer at that time said it was normal and not to worry. It's always made me wonder, but I trusted the dealer. Ya, not always smart.
To be honest, this is the first time I ever thought to ask anyone else after 92k miles. Engine runs fine otherwise, but I don't really care for grabbing a bunch of rpm's on any engine without having the oil pressure up to normal.

A stupid story,,,,,,,,,,
A few weeks ago, I started it up, and some yahoo said he knew I drove big trucks by the way I started my Ranger. You guys will find out eventually that I'm an idiot magnet at times. That was one of those times. LOL

Anyway, any ideas out there, good/bad on engine? I think bad. I'm thinking IAC is wide open maybe?

 

That's normal. It's mostly referred to as high idle.

 

I think it may be a bit more. It's like I have my foot on the pedal, like I'm intentionally revving it up. I've never had an engine do this.

 

normal.....
