Newer cars don't need to be primed—they have electronic fuel injection, which monitors temperature and makes the warm-up unnecessary. Auto experts say 30 seconds is all new cars need. "The engine will warm up faster being driven," the EPA and Department of Energy explain. Idling cars have become a matter for lawmakers in some states and cities, and some vehicles now use start-stop technology to lessen idling in traffic.
I've always warmed up the car...thinking the oil required warming before elevating the rpm above what the choke calls for.
I've been wrong I guess.
