Is a Cold Start RPM of 1500 Normal?

[MacKaleb]

A cold start RPM of 1500 is normal. Here are the details about cold starts: 1. Start Method: A cold start refers to starting the engine after it has been off for a while, cooled down, and its temperature is significantly below the normal operating temperature, with the engine oil mostly settled. Generally, it can be measured by ambient temperature—when the engine cools down to below 40°C after being turned off, which usually takes about 2 hours, starting it again is considered a cold start. 2. Impact on the Vehicle: Cold starts are more damaging to the car than warm starts, with over 80% of engine wear occurring during the cold start phase. Cold starts are also harder and take longer to initiate compared to warm starts.
