As the title says have got my beautiful 370Z Nismo only 8 weeks ago brand new and well pleased with it but over the last couple of weeks when I start it up from cold (doesn't happen from warm) - it shoots up to 1500rpm and sticks there for about a minute before gradually falling to the 600rpm it should be.

Not a major problem apart from the fact if I drive off immediately then I don't need the accelerator as the car simply pulls me along until the revs drop down - I can drive half a mile without touching the throttle ! Its like driving a frisky horse that just wants to bolt !

The only way round it seems to be to accelerate PAST the 1500rpm and then brake - it then seems to behave normally.

Any ideas ? I know I'm going to have to take it in which is a ball ache as I'm pushed for time and on an 8 week old £40k car !

Cheers
