Re: no fast idle
There is no "fast idle" on most modern vehicles.
Does your car not start well, or die immediately after starting?

Re: no fast idle
More than likely the Idle Air control valve. It is located at the top, center, rear of engine. It had a hose about an inch in diameter and a wiring connection. It is held in place by 2 8mm bolts. Easily replaced.

Yup, very easily. When you buy the new one, you'll be able to figure out which part the old one is-LOL

then why do cars idle fast when you start them in cold weather.

I don't think ModMech was talking about the modern electrically controlled valves our modern day cars use.
