Another cold start thread :X
So, today was the first COLD cold start my car has seen. We are in the single digits. It started fine for the most part, usual high idle at start (around 1500-1600rpm, normal for my car) though it did take an extra turn or two to start up. First thing I noticed, was the shifter felt like it was sticky. Normally my shifter moves easily, today it almost felt like I was pulling it through a bucket of slime (if that makes any sense). Like, it didn't move as easily as normal, and didn't have that feeling of "click" to let me know I had successfully put it in reverse, a very draggy feeling. I dont know how else to explain it. Anyways I figure it's just something with the cold, which I'm sure it was, as is my other concern. My other concern is that after about a mile or so of driving, I come to my first stop. Upon pushing the clutch pedal, the RPMs stay where they were while driving (at 2k). I sat for a few seconds, put in neutral, clutch out clutch in, back in gear...Still at 2k.. I've never seen it idle that high at all... Kinda worried me. After ~3-4 miles everything seemed to go back to normal..
Should I be taking concern? I've never experienced this with any of my other cars..so it worried me.
