High RPM and loud noise when engine starts..Normal??

[xuan511]

Realise that whenever i start the engine (4AT gear at P), the RPM shoots up to 1.5k and stays there till u drive off, den it will go to 1k.. There is also a very loud engine noise.

Guys, is this a norm??

Blue light means the engine is "cold". Aft a while (abt 2-3 mins), the light will just turn off. If I am not rushing, usually I wait till the light off before move the car, let the car warm up.

It's the initial start of the engine.. should be norm! Blue temp light showing your engine still at low temperature (around 20-50 Deg C) after one minute or so when the engine temp raise.. it will disapear.. for my case.. it will go off after 2-3 floor down when i go down from MSCP...

When you first start, it surely shoot to 2krpm.
Then immediately it will drop to 1.5krpm slowly then to below 1krpm , that is to warm up , until the 'blue' light is off then u can drive off. But, normally early morning i have no time to wait for 2min (to fully warm up), i drive off slowly until the blue light is fully off, then i accelerate...
