Well car engines tend to idle higher when they are cold as the ecu tells 
them to (engines dont like being cold).  An engine at operating temp 
shouldn't need to idle above 1000rpm, thats just a waste of fuel.

1800rpm is way too high for idle and as you say, there was something wrong 
with it.

I was just pointing out to Orchid that his engine *doesn't* idle at 
*several* thousand rpm, thats a gross exaggeration.
