I just start up and go. The car warms up really fast anyway, within a minute or so, so by the time I'm at the end of my block, it's good to go.

When it's warm I let the car sit at most ten seconds. If I'm not in a hurry. Like everyone else has said, don't "jump on it" until the light goes out. The light will go out from 135 fahrenheit to 140 fahrenheit. I have no idea if the motor really NEEDS to be that warm for mechanical reasons or if the emissions control system needs it to be that warm. Use some judgment. This isn't a hard and fast rule, but don't be passing Trucks and doing jackrabbit starts with the green light on. Gene |
