yea its normal when your car is still cold when you start it...the higher rpm is just so that your engine will get to normal engine temperature faster

I know this is a little off topic but is it ok to turn on your a/c before the engine is warm? Does it hurt the engine or anything if you start the car and turn on your a/c soon after?
