hi rpm at start up

Dec 05, 2006 2 Replies

Hi all in group, I'm just a little curios about start up on a 97 voyager 3.3 liter when cold, it rev's up over 2 grand for a few seconds on only cold starts, It seems a little bad for a cold engine at 25 degress to start up and rev up that hi before oil is up at full oil pressure, is it normal or not it doesn't seem to rev that hi when the temps aren't so cold, is there any pcm updates that may help, runs fine otherwise.



thanks for any info


As mentioned below, check the PCV valve and hose to and from it. As Philthy mentioned, replace the PCV valve anyway, as they are about $3.00CND. If this is the only time it revs like this, I am a bit doubtful it is the PCV valve, but replace it anyway. I do know that it is common for both my Neons to rev up a bit on start, but 2k RPM sounds a little excessive. Was the Van doing this last year, or did it just start?
