My 2.0 Grand Vitara from 2003 starts with 1800 rpm, but when I use my clutch to change gear the rpm is going to 2500rpm for a few seconds.After this seconds the rpm is going down to the 1800 rpm.This is only happening with a cold engine and takes about one minute.
After this the engine is running perfect.
Suzuki dealer says ir is no problem but I think it is very irritating.

The dealer cleaned the idle control valve and reset the computer by connecting the batterycables for two minutes.
The problem is fixed now.
