<DIV></DIV>>It is my understanding that you should not idle the engine for a warm up.
<DIV></DIV>>The coolant takes a long time to circulate and hardly moves at all at idle
<DIV></DIV>>speed. I would try firing up and just driving. There is no benefit to
<DIV></DIV>>idling. The sooner you get the engine up to operating temp, the happier it
<DIV></DIV>>will be.
