Longest time you left your Yaris engine running

i just got locked out today, thanks to the aftermarket alarm.

1 hour 30 minutes, the engine was running in 35 F weather, with wind chill making it feel 28F

not gooooood..............engine feels different now.....

LOL, you could leave the engine running for a week straight and it probably wouldn't hurt it. If you think you can feel a difference after 1.5 hours, it's in your head...

And that's why I never leave the car running and close the door behind, unless I crack open a window. Call me paranoid but I would freak out if I got locked out of my car.

We should call myth busters on this one...

On modern cars, it's no good only in that it's wasteful (in terms of gasoline).

The old myth was related to oil pressure not being high enough to protect the engine at low speeds. This doesn't really apply to todays engines.

yup know the feelin', aftermarket alarm that locked itself in 3 seconds.

well, my fault though cause i totally forgot about that. I planned to start the car and run down to my apt to get something

then it hit me

a door edge full of scratches(caused by yours truly) and bumps and 55 bucks to join AAA

I've noticed when using the button on the key to unlock the doors that after a while the doors will relock all by themselves ,any chance of the car locking you out when you have the keys in the ignition but dont lock the car door?

No, once you open a door the auto-relock feature of the keyless entry is disabled. How smart that computer!
