Default SC300 idling high when cold

So my SC300 has sense it share of wear and tear ( especially after the long, 235k miles it's been on the road. ) and it's recently started to idle very high when cold ( about 1500-1600 rpm ), but when it warms up, it will go down to normal rpm.

What could be causing this headache?

Sounds normal. Especially if the temp outside is below 32*F

It's normal. It is the computerized version of a choke.
