I think that a simple solution would be to put out glue traps or just get some damned poison and put it in the areas where you think they are getting in. I do not have this problem and live near woods and corn fields.... My 2 cents...
Subject: Re:Start-up engine speed - by: HercMech
Hey Guys, Mine is the same! I was concerned at first but I'm at 66 000 KM and the motor still sounds/runs the same.It gets REAL cold up here in Manitoba in the winter(-35c). I think the fact that the idle is constant as opposed to revving up and down makes it OK to spin that fast at start up....
Subject: Re:Start-up engine speed - by: Geezer w/FJ
Yeah, I wondered about that myself. My FJ revs up to about 1100rpm at startup and stays there for a coupla minutes. Makes me kind of nervous on a cold northern Indiana morning. I change my own oil and have been using a full synthetic 00wt20 these past two winters. I never hear any valva clatter on startup in even the coldest of days and the 6cyl. seems to warm up faster....check it out, it may ease your mind....

Take it to another dealer. That's crazy....
Subject: Start-up engine speed - by: Searcher
My FJ upon start-up goes straight to 1500 RPM! My dealer's mechanic says it's a factory thing designed to get the motor warmed up as quickly as possible for emmisions purposes. This can't be good for a motor at any temp let alone the kind we get here in N. Illinois, and I hate it. Any ideas on what a mechanically inclined guy like myself can do about this before I start poking around under the hood myself?...
Subject: Re:revtek - by: cruzrman
This is a spacer based lift which will place considerable pre-load on your front coils resulting in a prety stiff ride. It'll accomplish the desired result, but I'd say, save up and get a quality purpose built system such as Old Man Imu.Their experience with Toyota suspensions is unparalled. If you do go with the Revtek , you won't be able to get the alignment back to spec. w/o aftermarket upper control arms.That will apply to any kit you use....
