Default is this normal?

i just finish my ls swap in my crx. the problem is when i start my car the idle is at 3,000. this happens if i dont start it for a couples of hours but when it gets warm it drops to about 1000-1200. how do i fix this? does my charcol canistor(sp) need to be hooked up? :P

No it doesnt need to be hooked up...

check for vacuum leaks, and make sure you didnt adjust your throttle linkage to tight

Mine usually starts at 3000 then drops down to 700-1000... is that messed up too? my idle, once it warms up, looks like a decent number...
