Lately when I've started the car, I've noticed it's been idleing a tad over 1000 (because when I put it in reverse I have to hold the brake harder than normal).

After I start driving and I get to a light or something where the car idles, it's back to 500-700 range. Is this normal?

 

Is this just the computer warming up the engine or something else?

 

seems pretty normal to me.. if the rpms go back down to normal once its warmed up

 

thanks, just making sure. I'd never really noticed it before, so I was just checking.
