When i start my truck in the morning it does idle up but only to about 700-800 rpm, Is something wrong?

Thanks in advance

Cold idle depends on outside temps.

The high idle feature can go up to 1100 RPM's, but it doesn't have to hit the max all the time. If it's not cold enough, it's not going to idle up that high.

Not all PCM codes are programmed to do it.

But it does idle up, so I would think its at least programed. Ill call ford and ask they put it in 3 months ago. And it use to.
