Stuck open thermostat.
Yes, it is normal
This is normal for your car, The computer is working extra hard when the engine is cold Because it is not designed to operate at that temp, It is designed to warm up the engine and emissions system as quick as possible without damaging the engine, That is why MOST vehicles will run at A higher rate when COLD (BELOW NORMAL OPERATING TEMP). As for the up and down engine speeds, I can't answer that but it is normal, I have owned 3 of the CIVICs in that same engine family. Good luck, Jamison.
take it to a mechanic
Water is one of the byproducts of combustion. This usually noticeable when the engine is cold. I had owned a 1995 Sable and now a 2005 Taurus. They both do the same thing when the engine is cold. That is one of the reasons for the stainless steel exhaust that is corrosion resistant.
Cold Steel Black Sable.
White smoke at start up is due to moisture in the exhaust or on a diesel it can be normal due to the engine being cold.White smoke at start up is due to moisture in the exhaust or on a diesel it can be normal due to the engine being cold.
This is condensation and it is normal for that to happen.
Only in an emergency. The computer will turn on the check engine light if the temp never reaches normal. A cold running engine is also more prone to oil sludge problems.Only in an emergency.

Most likely needs a tuneup done. Check the timing and change the normal tuneup part.
The most common reason an engine would run cold or take a long time to reach normal operating temperature is a thermostat stuck in the OPEN position or no thermostat at all.
Code 17 is engine cold too long. The normal cause is a failed thermostat.
