N26 high RPM on cold start

3rdcoast228i · 03-30-2018, 10:54 AM

So I don't drive my car for sometimes 6 days or more days in a row. When I do this I've noticed some abnormal behavior on cold starts. I have had the car for a year and I don't think it's ever done this before. Last time it stumbled a few seconds after start. Today the RPMs shot to around 2100rpms soon as I started it. It's not even cold outside either, over 70f both times.

I'm thinking leaking fuel injector? Or are things like this just normal for these engines when they sit for a week?

Totally normal. My car does the same.

If I go into gear too fast after a start it will sometimes stall as well.
