2000 S40 RPM Spike on startup.

When this car has been sitting for a little while for instance over night. When I first start it the RPM's spike to around 1.5-2k then immediately drop back down to 1000 or so. This just started happening. I understand that it revs higher to warm the car up quicker but, this is not what is happening. This is a spike as soon as it is started and then back down to normal idle in a matter of about 1 second.

If I warm it up go to the store come back out I will get a normal start up no rev spike.

I was thinking a long the lines of a leaky injector or maybe a leaky FPR. If anybody else has this issue could you help me out or at least point me in the right direction.

Thanks

It will be storing codes, even if it returns to normal operation. DiCE...

I only have windows 8.

Is there a version that I can buy that will work on windows 8?

I am running the VMware image from this site on my Win 8.1 netbook with no problems (other than slowness). I believe you should set up the DiCE outside of the VMware image to ensure smooth firmware updates.
