Re: warming engine up

Something I have always done with all my vehicles is I wait until the initial high-engine RPM's at startup slows down to a normal idle, with the FJ usually just a few seconds when it's around 40 degrees. Then, drive it nice and easy until I sense that the engine, transmission, driveline and brakes, etc... have warmed up some.

I love watching people in the parking lot at work who get in their cold car, fire it up and immediatly put it in gear and speed off.


I can't stand my current (and past) Ford vehicles that run at a very high idle for a few minutes before slowing down to a normal idle. Hmmm...
