High idle when cold...

I realize that the high idle when I start my 97 v6 4RUNNER is normal, but I don't like putting it into gear at 1400 rpm, does anyone know a way to defeat this?

high idling when cold happens in every car. just warm up your car for a few minutes before you drive it.

P.S. welcome to the forum!
 
no way around it since the engine is EFI. only way to get around this is to get an old carb engine and kick the gas pedal. :)
 
I do try to let it warm up before I drive it.
At first I was not sure if it was normal or not, as I had never owned a car that did.
I was wondering if there was a way to defeat it, or trick the PCM.
My PowerStroke supposedly has non-adjustable fuel pressure, but I turned mine up with out putting a chip or tuner on it. I was wonering if anyone knew how the circut worked so I could get arround it that way... Like I did to my PSD.
