If your car is already warmed up and you're going to wait more than 30-60 seconds, shut your engine off. If your engine isn't warm already, leave it idling. But if you're waiting more than 5 minutes, turn it off.<BR/><BR/>Some people say that with modern engines the sensors adjust to the temperature of the car, which is why you don't have to 'warm up' a car on cold days the way you used to. I'm not so sure about this. I still warm up for about 30 seconds before I put the car in gear.mapgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06141234159609900257noreply@blogger.com
