Hi, my name is Jay
If vehicle is started in cold temperatures it may temporally go to high idle for short periods to keep [engine](/topics-engine-ford/) running and this is normal as long as the idle is not going above about 1200 rpm and then comes down after up to about 10 seconds.

How high is idle going when first started? Does it still do it once engine is warmed up?

I did only notice it start a few months ago when Temps. Dropped. It goes around 1500 RPMs never seen it go past 2000. No around 3-5 seconds right when I start it then never does it while running

This can be a vacuum leak in the intake manifold seals and can leak when cold and as it warms and expands it seals back up. You can just let it warm a minute before driving or have a mechanic check intake manifold for vacuum leaks and may need to replace intake manifold gasket seals.
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.

Lately when I start my far it revs up for like 3-5 seconds. Not extremely bad or anything but it is noticeable Mechanic's Assistant: Will the [headlights](/topics-headlight-ford/) turn on? Is the battery fully charged? Yes everything turns on fine and I got a new battery just a year ago so that should all be good Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? 2006 Ford fusion SE Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Fusion yourself? What have you tried so far? I thought maybe it would be my [cruise control](/topics-cruise-control-ford/) or just a throttle sensor but I haven't tried much to actually fix it Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? I just want to know if it's something serious, this will be my last winter driving this car as my main one so im not looking to put much money into it
