2002 Camry in the Cold
I have a 2002 Camry LE 4 cyl with about 85K miles on it. For the last few winters I have noticed that when the temperatures get below about 30 degrees, the engine will run at higher RPMs until the engine warms up. It has been worse this winter, though. I live pretty close to the highway that I drive on to work, so I'm going at about 4000-5000 RPM for 5 minutes or so. It's more annoying that debilitating, but wanted to make sure it wasn't anything dangerous/damaging to the car.

If when the car is cold, it is idling at 1500 to 2000 RPM's when first started, then this would be normal.

Re: 2002 Camry in the Cold
What Brian said. If it's not exceeding say 2,000rpm. You don't really have a problem. Keep in mind, depending on the conditions, it wouldn't be unheard of for one to jump up to 3,000rpm for a second & fall back down.
Crank the car, then drive it. Car engines are not designed to sit still idling, or idle until they are brought up to temp.

Re: 2002 Camry in the Cold
I don't let it idle to warm up - I start driving once it's started (although I will start it to get the defrost going while I clear the windows). When idling when it's first started it's at about 1,200 - 1,500 RPM. Still running at 4000 RPM in the cold during the first few (10 or so) miles, then drops.
