1996 Mk1 Gs300 High Tickover Cold

[mra]

Hi

I have recently purchased a GS300 mk1 and love it. However when cold it ticks over at approx 1500 rpm which makes engaging drive or reverse snatchy to say the least. It does settle to normal as the temp gauge rises but takes longer than I think it should. About 2-3 miles currently. The temp gauge has to be above 1/4 before it starts to slow. Is there a seperate sensor for the cold start setting? or is this normal.

Regards

Matt

Hi m8,

welcome to the club, id say this is normal tbh, mine revs high till it warms up then settles, so i wouldnt be too concerned

Sounds pretty normal to me too mate

Just like mine too.

Takes about 3mins to warm up.

soon settled though

I owned my Series I Sport for over four years and cold idling was always high. My 430 Sport idles high too but isn't as noticeable as my 300 was.
