How's the engine sound?

Do these clips sound ok? Specifically my car start up. The valve lift noise of the engine irritates me. Ever since the silly mazda dealership messed around w/ it.

And remember I have an automatic.

And yes my check engine light is on. Still working on it. It's my o2 sensor.

Kind of high reving at startup, no?

Really??

On cold morning my engine tach starts high (some where between 2k n 1k) then eventually comes down to about 750 rpm. Isn't this what's supposed to happen.

it is, mine's like that asell.

What does asell mean?

Maybe his car doesn't rev that high after all. That's why I ended my sentence with a question mark. Since mine is a '95 it could be different. My car is more in the .75 to 1.5 range at startup. Well, then again I bought the car with awful high acceleration and then I made it higher while trying to fix that problem. I eventually brough it down to where it is myself and it's good there. It doesn't give me a hard time to start where it is.
