you guys should really warm up your car. your car is not really lubricated yet, thats why the computer acts funny. and first has the car at a rev of 1300 then slowly goes down to 750-800 rpm when it is really warm.

Yep. Eventhough the manual says to warm it up for 1 minute, don't.

I recommend you warm up your car until it reaches the C bar or above. (takes 4-5 minutes)

and DO NOT TURN ON YOUR A/C or HEATER while it's warming up (or until it gets to the C bar). From my experience, it slows down the warm up process.
