starts at 60 cold and after it warm up goes to 20 idle 30 at 2000 rpms. is this normal?

That is lower than mine, mine idles about 40psi at about 2000rpms 60psi. Mine was running almost that low prior to changing my oil fliters.

Has it been like this as long as you have had it? How long have you had it? When did you change the oil last? What oil did you use?

Normal, not necessarily but enough, probably. If your getting less than 10psi at hot idle, I'd start get worried.

Just be sure your oil is not contaminated with fuel.

I think I will change the oil and filters
