I've got 5000 miles now on a 4 cyl. EX-L sedan, and have two questions
that I'm hoping the group can help me with:

1. When started cold in the morning, my idle sets at 1500 rpm and
stays there for what seems to be forever. Other cars I own will
initially set at 1500, but kick down (on their own) to about 1000
after just a few seconds, then work their way down to proper warm idle
speed at the appropriate pace (depending on the weather). I asked my
dealer to look at it at first oil change, and they apparently
performed an idle learn procedure, but nothing changed. The car makes
a pretty good jerk when putting into gear at this speed.

2. We try to only run a/c when we need it (I have the climate control
system), but when I turn the system off, warm/hot air flows through
the vents, even on a cool day. I'm used to air coming through that is
roughly the temperature of the outside air. Is there something else I
need to do?

thanks!
Rob
