if its close to, or above freezing i was thinking of starting up 70 1.7 d jet once in a while, and letting it idle/warm up for a few minutes.any opinions / facts on this.plus i have a cold start issue i would like to address.on start up the car idles for about a minute then i have to keep it running till she warms up about 10-15 min. of driving.once warm she idles nicely at about 850 rpm.

yes, stabil fuel stabilizer will prevent resin formation in teh bowls
!!!DO NOT IDLE AN EARLY 911/ 914/6 FOR LONG PERIODS!!! the oil does not get to everything, squirting and splashing and slinging about does not happen enough. "the 356 has a nice shutoff valve...so I just get it warm turn off the fuel and wait a few minutes till it stalls...all done for the season"....after adding a fuel stabilizer, right? im sure that is what you meant to say because your a smart guy. automotive fluids are like a mixed drink. after a while its ingredients start to separate. heavy stuff goes down, light stuff evaporates or corrodes things or eats hoses or creates chemical reactions that would not happen if they all stayed mixed together. perhaps we should look at car storage as a chemistry problem |
