Sounds like either your trans is slipping or you have a bad Throttle Position Sensor. A bad TPS will give the feeling of the trans not shifting properly and will make it hold onto to shifts too long.

I have audi A6 2.4 model 2006. When I start the car in morning, the battery sign appears after a couple of seconds. But when I accelerate a bit it goes away. The normal position of the rpm should be about...

Afraid not. Although the light goes out it still may not be charging very little charge will put the light out. the other reason I feel it's the alternator is instead of rpm increasing it should decrease as a properly charging alternator should pull the engine which should decrease the rpm

Engine idles up to 2500 and after 5 or 7 seconds, goes back down to 1200 rpm 2002 escort SOHC

Clean out the throttle body carefully and replace the auxilliary air idle valve. There is a resetting process for this valve so dont just fit and hope!
Check on Google or forums but i think ...when fitted you turn on ignition but dont start car , then put the accelerator pedal slowly to fully open, hold it for a min then release. start and drive car until warm and the recheck.
If the idle is high then settles it is not an air leak. It is something stuck that then releases which is only throttle flap or idle valve. It is always a goid idea to replace fuel, oil, air filters on normal service intervals.

Rpm does not drop below 1000

No,only on carburated engines it,idles down to the set point,on yours,it's fuel injected,pushing gas pedal won't kick idle down,should go down after a certain amount of time,does it automatically,If you start and drive a 5 mile ride and stop at a stop sign,it should idle at it's set point if there's no engine problems,which may be.5 to .7 on your tac.When you normally first start,it will idle between 1000 to 1200 rpm's,don't push on gas,let idle say 15 seconds,put in drive and go.
