Welcome to the group Stanley...someone here will have the answer.

It should sit at 1200-1500 on a cold start then settle down to around 8-900rpm once warm

 

[mdvineng]

and it's all done by the ECU and fly by wire throttle

Mines the same, starts up then runs at around 1800-200, then slows down to around 1000-1200 after a minute or so. The 61 plate auto 1.6 courtesy car was the same.

so there is no cure for what i consider so wastful & unnecesary

[mdvineng]

It's all about the CAT and leads to faster warm up times and therefore less waste overall.

 

[SneakyElephant]

It's not wasteful, it improves emissions. Unless you think spewing more NOX than necessary isn't wasteful, of course.
