Default is it normal to idle at..

Hey,
I was wondering if it's normal that the car idle's at start-up around 1000rpms..
sometimes 900rpms and sometimes just over 1000rpms..

It barley fluctuates, which is a good sign... but still, sometimes it's at 1200rpms at start up... kinda high? Maybe the chilly temperature?

normal... it should go down after a few mins, depending on temp. It idles higher to warm the oil and catalytic converters..
