It is starting to get a bit chilly up here and I was wondering how long I should technically let the car warm-up before driving? I am sure that there is a recommended lenghts of time and an actually lenght of time that people are doing it. So, lets hear it...how long?

I dont ever drive my car hard (over 3.5k) untill the thermostat is open (160).
That way I dont blow off hoses. I also have some cold running issues I have to tune out in my efi... but asside from about a 30 second warm up at idle... I drive just about every car we got... Not much help But I did used to warm up my 2.0 with the AAR valve open for 2 minutes (or untill it raised the idle to 2k), then I closed the aar valve, and if it idled... I drove away! |
