Hi,
I have a Liberty and I just got it serviced but when I start the car in the morning it revs (in neutral) to almost 2K rmps. Is that normal ???
Also after sometime, the temperature needle is half way between H & C. Is that normal too ?

I ALWAYS let my car warm up first for at leat 5 minutes before I drive it, by then the idle has settled down.

Yep, both sound normal to me.
I try to let my car warm up a little bit on a cold start. When I start to drive the revs have dropped off a fair bit from when its first started.
Temp (For my car) always sits bang on the middle, unless its particually cold or I'm Hwy driving. I know some cars sit below half way, so if you've come from a car like that your consern is understandable.
