Beside mechanical adjustments..what controls the high idle on a cold morning ? Is there a sensor/relay that controls the idle ? My 850 has always had a low idle regardless of the outside temp.
Hope somebody knows...Thank's, Dubs

It could be just a sticky idle control valve. Careful cleaning with throttle body cleaner and making sure it slides freely would be my first guess.
