the high idle is normal , its a function they gave our capris to warm up faster.

Its the auto choke, 3000rpm is a bit high but aslong as it eventually stabalises at 900rpm it should be ok.
Hahaha... I can imagine the trouble you'd have to go through when backing out of your drive way. It would be like hard launching everytime you release the clutch!

hey Yen, while we are on this topic, is there any way we can get rid of this "auto-choke" and have it so the car starts normaly at 800-900RPM and stay there... I find it quite annoying also... or if anybody can post a thread on how to do it.
