Most likely a faulty water temp sensor.

Is fast Idle hooked up. Check power to the start signal fuse. That can cause it to.

check the start signal fuse first. Drivers side kick planel is where it’s located. The ecu uses that for cold start.

Who the hell is talking about bandaid fixing. You know whats fast Idle is?? You know when the engines cold it’s up the idle to about 1200-1500 and as temps goes up it comes down. It’s controlled by the ecm. Thats fast idle all motors have it.
