they are supposed to. as the temp goes down to around 35deg the engine will go up to about 850 rpm,s. i forget what this is called,it has to do with wet-stacking i think. someone will chime in shortly and correct me. dont worry though,they all do it.

yep, mine does the same thing. Wont hurt it at all, it actually helps it by idling high. The high idles heats the engine faster and lets you use the heater to blow hotter at idle in cold temps

Last few weeks, mine has started to do this (high idle) due to the temperature. Also the EBPV is starting to close and has that hissing sound out of the tail pipe. Suppose to help heat up the engine faster. All the EBPV does on mine is to limit my speed (to <20 mph) until it warms up a little. I have to make sure I plug it in at night.
