I've read about the idle valve issue & such & meant to post about this, but I have about 13k miles now & haven't had really any issue with this. What I wanted to state in that post is that I run my A/C on ALL the time, from start-up. I do it because of the heat here in FL, but I do know that most modern cars now run the A/C to put a little more load on the engine to get it to the warmed up temperatures quicker and allows the emmissions to minimize the inefficiency of the engine. By putting a load on the engine, idle is a bit higher than without the A/C on & I believe this doesn't allow for the issues that poeple are seeing...BUT I'm not sure if this is the true case or not.
