    May well be the thermostat stuck open.

    Thanks, other question, :P , why when she cold started, revs are 1.8 k ., and holds quiet long. usually petrol engines when cold, revs jumps up to 1.2 - 1.3 k, than within 1 or 2 min drops, but mine is up for long time. ... never wait until they drops, as cant stay in one place for all day.
    When properly heated, revs ok, 850 . could be electrical choke acting, or something else ?

    Still could be cooling issues, if a temp sensor is giving wrong info to the ecu etc.

    I don't know if the 7A-FE is the same as the 2C-TE but the diesel has a fast idle where the fan speed control switch steps the idle speed up if its turned on.
    Turned off it just idles normally.
