Idle speed

Post by ianinnes »

1999 Corsa Club 1.2i 16V.
When I start it up from cold the revs are about 1500rpm. As soon as I touch the accelerator, they drop to around the norm of 800rpm.
Now I would have thought that the revs would drop much more gradual as the engine warms up, as it used to do on my old Cavalier.
Anyone any thoughts on this?
