RPMs high when cold, not switching gears - Toyota Yaris Forums

donairs · 12-11-2006, 03:53 PM

Is just specific to my automatic Yaris or is this a global phenomena. When I start out driving after the car sits for a while, it revs quite high and seems like it doesn't want to come out of gear. The "cool" light is on and it is usually until this goes away that the car actually goes back to normal and the RPMs are normal. This has been a little more evident of course now in the colder weather, but it was like this in the summer too. I can't remember other cars doing this in the past, but maybe it's something to get used to in the Yaris.

Any ideas or anyone else experience this?
