idle surge

hello , i have a 94 bronco 5.0 mass air / auto trans. when it starts
up the idle instantly goes up to 1600 rpm or so and hangs there
for about 45 seconds . is this normal ? , seems that jumping right up to that rpm would be bad for the engine ?

Well if its cold thatt totally normal, if it warm or hot, it should do it for about 15-30 secs, just a "warm up"
