high rpm rev

when ever i start my car it revs up and as soon as it gets to 2500 it drops back down to its stock idle...any idea whats goin on? ive heard about the high rpm to get the coolant up to temp or something like that but whenever my car did it it stay like that a minute. it never rose and then went down..any help would be good
