Possible your engine is warming up? Kind of like a choke? Mine does the same thing, idles high for 1-2 minutes. Its also 47 degrees outside when I go to work....so....maybe?

almost all cars have a cold fast idle. it was more prevalent back in the carburetion days, but even now most cars idle at 1200-1800 RPM on a cold start.

how fast is yours going?
