Re: Car warm up
I agree with SixFive. Studies up here in the Frozen North show that the best way to warm up your engine is to just let it idle for 30 to 60 seconds and drive slowly until it is up to temperature. It's supposed to be faster to warm up, easier on gas, and better for the engine than letting it sit until it's fully warm. Of course, if the inside of your windows is too frosty to see through....[img]/w3timages/icons/blush.gif[/img]

Re: Car warm up
I like to use the warm up method that my 78 year old neighbor uses. He starts his car and immediatly runs it to about 4K rpm. He told me that this lets the car know that he means business. Now the key is to keep it revved up at 4K for about a minute. Now if the car trys to stall after that, just give it a quick stab on the gas pedal. Again, this lets the car know who's boss. Bonus points are awarded if you have a any loose belts that squeal.
So the next time your G starts giving you some $hit, you let it know who's in charge.

Re: Car warm up
I haven't left a car sit and warm up since I got my first fuel injected vehicle, back in the late 80's, I take it easy for a few miles, but that's about it. Those old carburated cars used to run very poorly when cold, LOL, especially the old Datsun PU I owned!

Re: Car warm up
A fuel injected car does not provide enough of a load at idle to warm up the car quickly enough. There is more wear on the engine as it sits there then if you drive the car slowly until it reaches operating temperature.
Our manual states letting the car sit for 30 seconds on start-up... then drive away... but slowly.

Re: Car warm up
You don't want to drive a cold engine hard. It's not good for it... the oil isn't up to temp and can't get into the places it needs to quickly, and the sluggishness is also cause by emissions equipment that feeds unburned gasses back into the engine during warmup to reburn it.
