Q: 2004 Nissan maxima shoots up to 3000rpm on ignition
I just acquired the 2004 Nissan maxima. On igniting the engine without driving, it shoots up to 3000rpm and never comes back to 1000rpm. I also have this feeling that it consumes fuel.
Shooting up to 3000rpm, is it something to be worried about?
My car has 146150 miles.
