Hey all, Jeep first time Wrangler owner here! We picked up the new baby in mid October (2021 6 speed manual Unlimited Sahara), and it’s only got about 800 km on it at this point. Aside from just getting used to driving it after owning zippy 5 speed sedans for the last 20 years, so far so good aside from one thing I’ve noticed. It stays inside the garage overnight and when not in use, and in the past couple of weeks or so since it’s started to get colder, It seems to be acting a bit strange for the first couple of minutes. It doesn’t idle high on start up as the garage is probably about 10-12 degrees warmer than the outside temperate, but after backing out of the driveway, driving down the street and coming to the first stop sign, it revs and stays at about 2000 rpms when I put it into neutral and let off the gas. It seems to let up once you clutch again and start moving, but this has been happening on and off to both my husband and and always after it’s been sitting for a period of time. I haven’t noticed it doing this any other time, just on that first drive down the street.
Anyone else had this issue? Could it be temperature related, or should I be letting the engine warm up longer? Just curious whether this is something I should be bringing up to the dealership or if it’s no big deal. I haven’t had this issue with any of my past manuals, and I didn’t notice it until very recently, as the temperatures have dropped.
